Measure SWR
1. Set the FUNCTION switch to the CAL position.
2. Turn CAL knob counterclockwise fully to the MIN position.
3. Set the radio equipment on transmission and turn CAL knob
clockwise until the meter indicates the " " position
4. With the equipment kept on transmission, set the FUNCTION switch
to the SWR position, the indicator indicates SWR of the antenna.
Note that there are two scales H and L for SWR reading. If
transmitting RF power is less than 5W then read L position, if the
power is more than 5W then read H position.
* Relationship between reflected RF power and SWR is as follows.
SWR 1.0 1.1
Reflected
0 0.22
RF power (%)
5. Calculation of SWR value is as follows;
√ √
Pf + Pr
SWR =
√ √
Pf — Pr
Where Pf = forward RF power
Pr = reflected RF power
Note
If SWR reading and calculated SWR value differs considerably,
calculated SWR value is more accurate due to the frequency response
of pickup diode used in the directional coupler section.
If SWR is too high
If SWR of the antenna is too high, see if antenna is correctly assembled
and soldered or coaxial cable and connector are correctly assembled
and soldered. Installation location of the antenna, surrounding buildings
and so on, can also be a cause of high SWR value.
