Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anyone in the PGH area have an SWR meter I can use for a day? Can I use the one in my rig?

Or better yet, how much is one?

Or can I use the one in my rig?

As long as there's nothing between your rig and the antenna (amp, tuner etc), there's nothing wrong with using the SWR meter in your rig.  Anything less than 1:1.5 is cool, and most rig's SWR meters are accurate enough for that.
