    Have a real newbie ?

    This is what I have. A Boafeng UV 5r v2 and purchased a 2 meter mobile magnetic mount antenna that is not adjustable and from past cb experience you always check the swr. I just got my Tech ticket and it is a whole new ball game. So I guess I will be investing in an analyzer any suggestions...

    Have a real newbie ?

    Can I use the same swr meter that I use for my 11 meter cb to check the swr on my 2 meter radio. Have not got the connections yet to try but the thought just crossed my mind if there is a difference.

    A very newbie ?

    Can you paint an antenna? If you do will it cause problems with the antenna's reception or transmitting?
