New Antenna

I am about to purchase a new antenna and I am wondering if I should set the swrs using a cheap Radio Shack meter or have the cb shop use a mfj meter.

One thing I have found so far is that you get what you pay for. The radio shack meter is just a double check and is good to have since it is hooked in line in your rig and it allows you to check it periodically, just my 2 cents.

I just bought the radio shack tuner. seems ok. the guy at the cb shop said he would hook his big money tuner up to my set up to compare with the radio shack for no cost. Just havent got a chance to go by there yet. Before i found this web site I emailed fire stick about swr tuners and they said the radio shack tuner was one of the better ones that they have tested.
