- You are better off using the SWR meter. The field strength meter is likely

- Yes, you need a short cable to connect the CB radio to the SWR meter.
- It will have male connectors at both ends. The proper place for the
- SWR meter is right at the feedpoint on the antenna, but that is not
- really practical on your antenna. Don't worry about it, for the short
- length of coax you have, it won't matter.
