Ok guys kinda new to the CB world again. Had one back in like 2012 but i dont remember having to do any SWR stuff. So dont laugh to freaking hard ok. So my radio brand new roadking clasic. When im in SWR mode i can key and check my SWR NORMAL. But when i put in cal mode key set to the cal arrow on meter then put back jn swr key i get my swr. Heres my question. What happens if you simply say F the cal arrow and just set the dang needle to 1.1? Cuz then its at 1.1 and its perfect better than when j set to cal mark so WTf do i need the cal mark for? Cuz when i put in cal mode and just set my needle to say 1.4 and switch to SWR mode and key ill get an SWR reading of anbout 1.1 1.2 bucks. Now if i put it back in SWR mode and lets say the needle shows 2..3 when keyed well not the best reading so i simply turn the SWR CAL Nob to about 1.1 1.2 while keyed then un key and when re key its still at the spot i left it 1.1 1.2 i can put it in standerd opperasion mode and get clear transition loud & clear strong signal and great audio ill say hold let me cal and other driver say why it soumds perfect you aint gumna get any better partner so why is this?? Can’t find a single person ask this question like i can move the needle set it to whatever i want so why dont people why use a cal arrow that gives less than perfect signal. I either feel like i got the only manual calibration radio and its like a bad ass upgrade i should be able to do or my ****ing radio is broken out the box snd im a flippin idiot i cant handle not knowing the amswer i keep trying tk find someone tk ask but they dont get what im saying and to hard tk wxplain over the radio but i can just turn the csl nob set needle to 1.2-1.4 and get a perfect 1.1 or better needle dont flinch when keyed stsys. On 1 and other drivers say it sounds fsntastic so do other radios not stay were you put the needle if you don’t use the cal mark or has every CB user got conned with use the cal mark and over time its just what happens. I have not used an external meter to verify SWR reading. But someone plz help me if you havent noticed by this post this **** has consumed me. All i do is think about this dang radio snd do radio checks cuz its set so well i think that no static at all comes out unless around a lot of othrr rigs or interferance but il drive hours with out any static squak at full RF gain at ful only wsy i get static is turning off the NsAnt and the Ant then consistent static no matter what switch back dead silence until a driver keys
