    Modulation / SWR Meter: Measures the percent modulation of the AM signal. Note that the CAL/SWR/MOD switch must be in the “MOD” position for the meter to measure and read modulation. SWR METER: Measures the ratios of standing wave ratio of the antenna system, which is critical in properly adjusting the length antenna and all related electrical connections.
