Ham radio

[radiogoon]

radio is a ranger RCI-2995 DX CF -- AM/ FM /SSB/CW 10 &12 meter --- antenna is a 20 meter vertical antenna overall capable height 17 feet according to my Manuel the antenna can be used for 20 meters , 17 meters , 15 meters and 12 meters To be more specific the antenna is from Comteck systems with the numbers com-20VA -- I know my SWR is not that good , right now it is over 4 and my needle isn't actually reaching the set area for the SWR --- I too have wondered if those channels 1 through 40 or CB and perhaps the 6 digit stations HAM .

The six digit read out is a frequency counter, it shows you the channel number in Mhz. You need to get an antenna for the 11 meter band. Or you could get a manual tuner and fool the radio into accepting a decent SWR but your signal will be reduced. You really want an antenna specifically tuned to he CB bands.
