Best place to pick up a SWR / Power meter (Bellevue, Issaquah, Renton) WA?

Live in Renton, work in Issaquah - recently picked up the BilBill CB combo & am in need of an SWR Meter. Any recommendations on the best spot to pick one up? I'm hoping to get my hands on the cheap variety (<$20)... vs. paying $50.

Re: Best place to pick up a SWR / Power meter (Bellevue, Issaquah, Renton) WA?

From what I have read, the Shack's is actually pretty decent.

Walcott also carries a few.

To bad that Jet City CB that was in Renton closed down, he is the guy who super tuned my Cobra 29 many years ago.

He use to work for Truck City CB that was up by the Federal Way truck stop, then he branched out on his own.

Truck City CB is now in Fife at the new truck stop.

They can tune it for you, and also sell you one.
They do good work there.

Thanks Corey, yes I swung by the old shop in Renton and was disappointed to see it shut down. RadioShack's $50 Job may be the way to go if I don't want to wait, otherwise perhaps a trip to Fife is in order. THank you

If I had a meter I would tune it for you since I work in Renton.
I do not use an external one, as the Cobra 29 has a built in SWR meter.

No problem, I just went to Joes Sports in Issaquah & they had a $25 job that should work fine. Problem solved!
