To adjust the SWR on the PRESIDENT Walker III FCC CB radio, you have two options:
1. Adjustment with internal SWR-meter:
- Go to the SWR ADJUSTMENT function in the MENU (page 12 of the manual).
- Follow the instructions in the manual to adjust the SWR using beep tones. This method is easy and convenient.
2. Adjustment with external SWR-meter (e.g. TOS-1 PRESIDENT):
- Connect the SWR meter between the CB radio and the antenna as close as possible to the CB.
- Set the CB on channel 20.
- Put the switch on the SWR-meter to position FWD (calibration).
- Press the PTT (push-to-talk) switch on the microphone to transmit.
- Bring the index needle to the desired level using the calibration key.
- Change the switch to position REF (reading of the SWR level). The reading on the meter should be as close as possible to 1. If not, readjust your antenna to obtain a reading close to 1.
Remember to recalibrate the SWR meter after each adjustment of the antenna.
Please refer to the manual for more detailed instructions and illustrations on how to adjust the SWR on the PRESIDENT Walker III FCC CB radio.
