I installed myself a new GME 3200 with a 4.5 colinear Antenna and get great reception from a repeater some 60km away, I was going to buy/borrow a SWR metre to
check that the antenna was 1-1.5 as recommended and have been told by two radio Tecs that you DON'T need to SWR a UHF antenna as they are pre tuned 1-1.5 when made at the factory. Is this correct? Please note that I am talking only UHF not 27meg!
