  • That awesome mobile antenna you just bought? You might have had to assemble it, or it may have come that way. There are adjustments to tweak the SWR performance on pretty much every antenna out there. Let's take a look at how to tweak!

    Good info, many folks don’t know these can be adjusted 👍

    I don’t know how to use a Rig Expert. 😢 Good content, good job!

    Would be interesting to see the dip across the band. Seemed like you could have snipped a little off the bottom for better results. Great video Jim

      Right - I may go back and tinker with it again. I just had never even messed with that antenna and wanted to see what results I could get with just adjusting length. Also - if I got it worse, I could reverse it...

    Does the Rigexpert not have a sweep option for a band? Ifso perhaps use that to find the low point. It may be that the element needs trimming. Perhaps another vid there😊 73

      It does - the option I used showed the lowest part based on the input parms, and since I didn't see much of a difference, I didn't go to deep on it. A decent idea to explore that some more!

    That's not a coil, that's a spring. LOL!
