SWR Diagram How to tune and Adjust the Wilson 1000 or Wilson 5000
If you intend to operate only in the CB Band, insert the whip 1" into the Antenna Adjustment Mast.
In most cases it is not even necessary to check your SWR. However if you have access to a SWR meter, put it betweeen the CB Radio Antenna Jack and the Wilson 1000 or Wilson 5000 connector.
  1. Check the SWR on Channel 1 and Channel 40. If the SWR is lower on Channel 1 than on Channel 40 insert the whip into the mast 1/4" more and check SWR. Repeat until SWR is about/or the same on Channel 1 and Channel 40. ( NOTE: In some installations , it may be necessary to cut the whip, 1/4" at a time, to adjust the SWR. )
  2. If the SWR is higher on Channel 1 than channel 40, pull the whip out 1/4" until the SWR about /or the same on Channel 1 and Channel 40.
  3. It is important that the car or truck doors are shut while making SWR measurements. Also the vehicle should be at least 30 ft. from any metal wire or structures.
  4. For amateurs operating operating on 10 meters cut 1 to 1 1/2" from the bottom of the whip (use a hacksaw), and adjust for best SWR between 28.3 and 28.5 MHz.
