Antenna Tuning
Most antennas are factory tuned. However, radio
performance can usually be improved by slightly

Standing Wave Ratio (SWR) meter (not included.)
Refer to the antenna manufacturer's installation
manual for the exact tuning procedure. You can
purchase an SWR meter or have your antenna
checked by your CB Dealer's service department.
