Hi all. New guy here. Excited to be getting back into CB / GMRS (maybe Santa will bring me one).
I’m trying to figure right the right spot to measure SWR
my setup is:
- Firestick 4’ Mounted to my wrangler JKU tailgate. Ground straps to chassis.
- cobra 75 radio, grounded to chassis.
- RM Italy KL35 amp grounded to chassis.
- RM Italy 27/586 low pass filter.
connections / signal flow are :
cobra 75 —> rm Italy amp —> low pass filter —> firestick antenna.
Before I added the amp and filter, I was measuring 1.4-1.6 SWR between radio and antenna.
Now with the amp and filter inline, I’m confused where to measure swr. I’ve done some reading here about harmonics and honestly kinda lost.
any help you kind folks can provide is appreciated. Thanks!
