Description from the creator

In this video I measure the SWR and tune my CB antennae.

CB antennae set-up I'm using:
Antennae:

Spring:

Coax Cable:

CB Radio:
Radio Shack TRC-447
(Wired straight to battery)
It is important to wire your CB straight to your battery so it will receive constant power. Power being cut from the CB while operating can be detrimental to its health. Wiring to the battery also ensures minimal interference and less "crackling" while the engine is running.

SWR Meter:

($20, I mistakenly said $10 in the video, the SWR meter in fact cost $20)
