Workman SWR Meter for CB Radio Antennas SWR2T

Wanted to go cheap because I wind up losing them after the first use. However, this one is pretty much low quality and I would suggest a better unit unless you plan to throw it away after use.

Im new to the world of CB radios, and after doing some research, I understand that I need an SWR to make sure that my antenna is of the correct length to optimize my CBs performance. I assume (havent actually used it yet) that the meter will work as advertised. However, for newbies like me: note in the picture that there is no patch cable. In order to use this device, youre going to have to find one to connect between your radio and the meter. Many of these come with the patch cable, but this one doesnt. Not deceptive on anyones part, but itd have been nice to know beforehand.

Arrived broken. No jumper included. CB radio stuff isnt easy to find these days. I had to order a jumper online and it further delayed my project. I plugged it in and the needle wouldnt move or pass signal to my radio. I bought the Astatic ADC1 to double check that I wasnt doing anything wrong. That one worked fine and it came with a jumper. Also, just to be sure it wasnt the jumper that I ordered separately, I tested it with the Astatic. By process of elimination, this workman did not perform according to its namesake.

Just as an FYI for individuals, this does not come with an jumper/extra CoAx cable. Would need to purchase another cable.

The SWR meter worked perfectly to tune the CB in my truck and then retune it when I moved it to my new truck. And the customer service is great as well!

This product made tuning my CB really easy. Definitely worth the money if you actually want your radio to be usable.

Was always in need of this swr meter, finally got around to getting this one. If your not familiar with this unit read full instructions and you will be fine, using meter connected between cb radio and coax leading to antenna was able to set radio to utilize maximum range and performance, all brand new parts were used during this install from radio to tunable tip fire stick only way to do it 5stars

Item arrived as described. The dial indicator has a little more play than anticipated when held off camber, however with a steady hand that excessive movement of the needle can be minimized.

Like so many other pieces of my CB radio install, this does not come with all the parts necessary to make it work. While this is a great price on a SWR meter, you will need a jumper cable to get it to connect with your radio unit. Looking around on AMAZON, this same unit is available with said cable but nowhere does it indicate that it is needed for you to test your radio. I am sure the product works great but this will be the third separate order I have had to place due to a lack of information/details when reviewing the product. A simple line about needing the cable would have been appreciated.

worked good for my needs, and it showed the same readings as a digital meter.
