    Good topic, I left my radio on my boat when wife went into labour, got rained on and now doesn't go so looking for a new one. @gadgetman I'd be quite interested in your meter once all set up

    SWR is standing wave ratio. basically how much is flying out of the Arial compared to whats being pushed in. ideally it should be 1 watt in 1 watt out etc.
    marine radios are vertically polarized and laying it horizontal will lose you 12dB of signal and even moor if its folded down alongside a metal plane as this will act as shielding.
