SWR's:

Post by rrtddaa64 »

Hello! I have a question about SWR's. Which should I worry about the most, my SWR's in my Radio, or the SWR's between my Antenna, and my Radio? The SWR's between my Radio, and Antenna is 1.1 on both Channel 40 and Channel 1. On my Radio meter, it reads higher on both Channels. I have a Galaxy Saturn, and a Dosy TC-4001 meter. Will someone please advise? Thanks a lot!

I always rely on an external SWR meter as I have found that most radios with built in SWR meters seem to be different.The only one I have found that is accurate is in my Yaesu FT 920,also it's SWR not SWR's standing wave ratio not ratios.When in doubt always use a good quality external SWR meter and you can't go wrong.
