Your amp should say radio on one port and ant on the other port. For using a watt meter. You will need 2 coax jumpers, and the main antenna coax. Then in the order psycho has posted, radio to amp radio input port, amp ant port to radio watt meter port. Antenna port on watt meter to antenna coax to antenna.

ok real fast.....the antenna coax runs into my meter, the other meter coax that went to my radio now goes to the amp, and the radio goes to (radio on the amp).....tried it and preamp works on it and swr did go down just a tad, before i key up just make sure this looks ok
