Default swr meter

Do that have to stay in your jeep or is it a one time use?

The swr meter is used to tune your antenna. It plugs in line on the coax cable, u tune the antenna, then remove the meter and hook up the coax normally.

I guess u could. I just helped my brother in law use his recently. I think he got his off ebay or amazon. It wasn't expensive, and I think it's a good tool to have. If it were me I'd keep it, but your call. Maybe one of ur jeep buddies will need one and u will have it.
