Default Where to buy a SWR meter????

I have searched the forum and the internet and don't know where to buy a SWR meter to tune my cb! What is a decent price for one? Should I look for certain features?

Any help would be awesome!

Google is your friend... just type in "SWR meter". They can also be bought at CB shops and truck stops.

Default SWR meter

You'll find them at most truck stops alongside the CB's and Ant.'s. Price varies but all features are about the same.

Corey, are you planning on wheelin with Georgia Crawlers anytime soon? If so, a couple people have tuners. I haven't decided if I'm going to put in a vehicle mounted CB or stick with my handheld -- which has met my needs so far.

Hey Tony, Not sure when I'll get together with GA Crawlers, their meetings are usually on the weekends when we go wheeling. I heard that Mark had one. I'd like to get one to help tune others when we have meet and greets or wheeling events through the forum.

Beleive it or not their aren't that many CB shops around Atlanta. With all the interstates you would think there were. There is one about 30 miles away from where I live, 60 miles round trip!!!!!!
