Turn the switch on the swr to REF then key up, turn the dial on the swr until the needle it up to SET, then flick the switch to FWD for the reading. _________________ |

If you can not get it to swr you can get what is called a matcher box.
This sets the swr by turning the knobs to the Wright settings.
I had one and it worked well connected to my York rig with a 6ft modulator antenna. |
