Connecting the SWR meter.

On the back of the SWR meter, there will be two sockets. One of these should be connected to the CB radio, and the other to the antenna. The sockets should be marked up to show which one goes where.
Connecting these the wrong way will not damage any of the equipment, but the FWD and REF switch functions may be reversed.
The best position to place the meter is close to the antenna, with a short lead from the meter to the antenna. However, as this may be inconvenient, the alternative is a short lead from the radio with the main coax running from the meter to the antenna.
As the meter uses the power coming from the CB to take the measurements, an additional power supply is not needed for SWR readings.
