Definately not Dave , the am cb SWR meter is a tuned device and will not work correctly.
If you want to get a very rough idea , transmit into a load e.g. 50 ohm resistor or car tail light globe across the coax end, and if your CB has a level meter on transmit , then a lower reading usually means better SWR.
