Installed my BigBill combo today . Got it all wired up , no shorts , but I don't get any reading on my swr meter . Checked grounds , continuity between ant and radio ( both center conductor and ground ) all is as it should be . My swr meter is 30+ years old , do they go bad ? I can receive a weather station with the ant hooked up .

If you can hear the weather station then your CB is working. I would bet that your meter is down for the count.

I think it's one of the PL259 connectors on the jumper . Will pick up a couple of new ones on Tue.
$50 for a new SWR meter at Radio Shack . Prices sure have gone up in 30 years .

Yea, that's a decent meter though (one of the only decent things in that place these days)...
You might find a local shop that you can get a PDC-1 or similar. I got mine through walcott, but I do see them locally at the little shop for under $25.
Ordered a new SWR meter from Walcott CB , will arrive on the 24th .
Half the price of Radio Shack even with shipping .
