No....ideally that's what you want. Your antenna should be broad banded enough to cover the 40 channels without having swr extremes on either end. Normally you try to adjust your antenna to get a happy medium in swrs for all 40 channels.....unless you only talk on one channel then you would want the best swr on that particular channel. Because on CB you have 40 channels to work with, antenna makers try to make antennas that have a "range" so to speak, to be able to use all 40 channels. See, each frequency/channel has an ideal size of an antenna to match it, radiate on, then you would have a perfect 1.1 to 1. swr. When you vary off of that channel, that's when you start to get higher srw. Normally the larger the antenna, meaning physical size of the element, the more broad banded it is. Meaning the broader the range of freqs./channels you can talk on. That's why it's always best to have the largest antenna possible for maximum performance.
