 THC> Concerning _Antenna_, Bruce Clark said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
 
 BC> Have you put an SWR meter on the back of the CB to see

 THC> Depending on which CB and (of course) which channel, anywhere from a
 THC> "perfect" 1.1 to about 1.75 on the SWR meter.  Adding the "Y" splitter

 THC> That's without the scanner actually in the circuit, by the way, as I'm
 THC> still chicken. :-)  
 THC> Funny thing is, with the "Y" wired in, the CB's self-reported transmit
 THC> power is twice what it usually is.  No change according to the people
 THC> I'm talking to, though.
The meter goes at the end of the cable where the radio 
is usually attached. That's the SWR that the radio will 
"see".
