Absolutely massive, normally needs a police escort and planning permission for road closures

TBH mate i think with all the rest of the ****e i'm taking i dont know but i will try get it in somehow

Can you remember how to use it Zip there's that many nobs and dials i cant remember which ones to turn press or switch.

vaguely, key it up with the switch in one position, turn to the dial to the top of the scale, release the mic, flick the switch to the other position, key the mic again, then the reading is your SWR (I think, although its about 7 years since I did mine)

Just in case anyone was relying on me having a kitchen for breakfast....I have decided to let the hotel cook it for me like a normal person lol!

Hahahaha!!!

SWR meter is no bigger than a fag packet, one switch and a rotary knob to set the meter, plus a patch lead to connect it between the CB and the antenna
