How to tune SWR's for a CB
I just bought an SWR meter to tune my CB antenna. Does anybody know how to do this correctly? There seems to be no write up for this on here.

I Got it down! The shop I went to told me its a bunch of work and they were going to charge me 25-45 bucks depending on if "everything is right". I bought an SWR Meter at Radio Shack as with a 2' coax cable for around 30 bucks. I figured I should take the chance to learn something new. Well, I did I got my swr's between 1.2 and 1.4 with a spring which I think is around a 2-3 percent power loss. A write up on this in the "How To" section would be awesome for the folks in the future.
