Default CB SWR meter on 122Mhz?

Otherwise, range and clarity are fine. I just got to wondering if my
homemade antenna or cable are a problem. To do the original install,
I used an rf field strength meter and simply adjusted the antenna
length for highest reading.

That probably wasn't the cleverest way of doing it.


Maybe not the cleverest way, but it's probably good enough that it's working
fine.

Describe your installation a little more, but I think I can guarantee you
that it isn't the antenna.


I agree. This sounds like a front end overload problem. No antenna in the
world will fix that. (Well, at least not and still work for the intended
purpose.)
