markejackson02 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Posted October 16, 2018 Anyone near Houston know where I might be able to rent/borrow a SWM meter? Something like an MFJ 259 meter. Have replaced the coax cable but still having weak reception/transmission issues. I'd like to test the antennas before starting a fishing expedition with the avionics people. Quote
Yetti Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 Standing Wave Ratio SWR $250 looks like a good price on one. Using a VOM to make sure the new cable/connectors does not have a short and continuity is a good way to start checks. You know when you forgot to put the SWR in the truck. Can you swap radios. Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) The MFJ 259 is a good choice. I used to have one and I think I will buy another. They are not that expensive. I used it to design HF RFID antennas. Better than tools that cost 10 times as much. http://www.mfjenterprises.com/Product.php?productid=MFJ-259C Edited October 17, 2018 by N201MKTurbo Quote
Piloto Posted October 17, 2018 Report Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I have this one and found it very reliable and practical José Edited October 17, 2018 by Piloto 1 Quote
