Default How to use a simple SWR meter and what it means to your VHF

I suppose that is a matter of judgement. 1 watt is pretty useless when you
are an hour away trying to secure a slip for the night. Trying to secure a
slip 10 minutes before arrival is inconsiderate and places the marina on
the spot and can leave one with few alternatives if they cannot accomodate
you. Try reducing your power to 1 watt everytime you are communicating with
a marina and see how life is?

I just have to ask what the thinly vailed insult has to do with anything? I
think
Larry's explanation of SWR was quite valuable and others who chimed in
had valuable contributions as well. Certainly more useful than the Battery
Water
thread

Good grief...that battery water thread has to be in the running for the
longest, dullest, most useless string of discombubulated thoughts ever
to be regurgitated on usenet.

Q: What kind of water do you use in your batteries?

A: Whatever's left in the Miller Lite cans.*





* I use AGM batteries, and drink the water.
