Another SWR QUESTION

mossbackman · #1 (**permalink**) 02-27-2009, 09:40 PM

I got my Cobra 29 classic black chrome with EKL RFX 75 10 meter replacement RF deck from CBR today. I use my other radio with a slide mount and get a swr of 1.2. If I put a slide mount on the cobra and use it in the same tractor with the same antenna and coax will my swr still be 1.2 or will it change because the radio is different?

And thanks CBR for doing the mod and getting the radio shipped out so fast!

It will change some

Thanks, now that I know what to expect, I'll get to work early so I can tune it. Anybody know how good the swr meter on a cobra 29 is vs an external one?

Well I got it last friday and dropped it on saturday(it fell about 3 feet). I'm having problems and I don't know if it's the fall or the solder job on my slide mount. I talked to CBR earlier tonight and I guess i'll be sending it back.

But it still looks nice!
