INTRODUCTION

To help get the most power from your CB or ham transceiver, the antenna
system should be operating efficiently.  With the Micronta SWR meter, you
can easily measure the system's SWR.  Then, by fine tuning the antenna for
the lowest SWR reading, you can be assured that your transmitter puts out
all the power it can.

This meter measures the efficiency of your antenna system by determining
how closely the impedance of the antenna matches the impedance of the
transmitter.

When coupled between the transmitter and the coaxial antenna feed cable,
the meter monitors how effectively your transmitter's output is
transferred to the antenna.  The comparison of power sent to the antenna
with power reflected back to the transmitter is known as the standing wave
ratio.

You can also use the meter separately to measure the transmitter's field
strength.  This scale can help you to position your antenna for best
output coverage.  It can also provide the data you need to plot a map of
the transmitter's power around the antenna.
