Look......I was asking him because I was wondering if he understands what he's talking about. There is HUGE difference between calibrating swr and tuning swr. The calibrator in the radio does NOTHING to tune swr.....it only "tells" you what the swr is. It is NOT a tuner. So if somebody thinks by using the "calibrator" in the radio, the swr will somehow suddenly be changed and be safe to transmit, then they are greatly mistaken. I was just wanting to know if he knows the difference.

Nice setup! A couple questions:

Do you have your passenger side's freedom top out or is it transparent? There's a lot of light going through there.

What is that bar where your radio is attached to? Looks like two parallel round bars.

No I tuned useing a external SWR, I have a external amp that is hooked to the CB. So I needed to have one that could handle the output
