Hello All, I have a very simple question that I know ya'all can answer. I am VERY new to amateur radio and I have a simple set-up. My radio is a Yaesu FT-2980 that puts out 80 watts in the 2 meter band. My antenna is a Comet GP-1. I am using 50 feet of Davis RF DRF-400 cable for my connection between the antenna and the radio.
Quick question. Do I need to tune the antenna or measure my SWR? I just connected the whole shebang together and I am generally happy, but I am wondering if I could get more out of this very simple system or am I good to go?
Thanks in advance,
Rocky
