Accessories Unlimited SWR Meter for CB Radio Antenna Tuning | AUSWR
Properly tune your CB antenna system with the Accessories Unlimited SWR Meter (AUSWR). An SWR meter is an essential tool for checking and adjusting your CB antenna installation to help achieve the best possible radio performance while protecting your CB radio from excessive reflected power.
SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) measures how efficiently the radio's signal is being transferred through the coax cable and antenna. A properly tuned antenna allows more of your CB radio's power to be transmitted through the antenna instead of being reflected back toward the radio.
The Accessories Unlimited AUSWR makes it easy to check your antenna system after installation or anytime changes are made to your antenna, mount, coax cable, or vehicle setup. It's an especially useful tool when installing a new CB radio system in a Toyota FJ Cruiser, Jeep, truck, SUV, or other off-road vehicle.
For anyone installing a Firestik, Firefly, or other tunable CB antenna, checking SWR should be one of the final steps before regular radio use.

- Identifies improperly tuned antenna systems
- Helps reduce reflected RF power back to the radio
- Useful when installing or replacing a CB antenna
- Compact and easy to use
- Ideal for CB radio installations in trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, and off-road vehicles
- Compatible with common tunable CB antennas
- Great addition to any CB installation toolkit
Why Is SWR Tuning Important?
Even a high-quality CB radio and antenna can perform poorly if the antenna isn't properly tuned. Excessively high SWR can reduce transmitting range and cause a significant amount of the radio's output power to be reflected back toward the radio instead of transmitted through the antenna.
Checking your system with an SWR meter allows you to make antenna adjustments until you achieve an acceptable reading.
For best results, SWR should be checked after the complete CB system has been installed on the vehicle.
Ideal for Off-Road CB Installations
The Accessories Unlimited AUSWR is a useful companion when installing CB equipment on:
- Toyota FJ Cruiser
- Toyota Tacoma
- Toyota 4Runner
- Toyota Tundra
- Jeep Wrangler

Important Note
An SWR meter is used for testing and tuning the antenna system and does not increase CB radio power by itself. Proper antenna selection, installation, grounding, coax routing, and antenna tuning all contribute to overall CB radio performance.
