SWR = Standing Wave Radio www.firestik.com/Tech_Docs/Setting_SWR.htmI have a firestik II antenna - 3ft long on a spring thingy. The good thing about a magnet antenna, is that they are usually tuned correctly or close to it. (Correct me if I am wrong...) If you buy a Firestik you should be ready to ground it and set your SWR's so you dont damage your radio while transmitting, and it also helps with your transmitting and recieving. SWR's arent hard to set. I bought a radio that has it built in (which isnt as acurate as a separate SWR meter, but gets it close enough for me.)

i gota be the one to say to it cuz somebody has to 36's on stock gears??? sorry, had to oh and SWR stands for SHORT wave Radio not standing, and its a meter that you can buy at radio shack for like $40, and yes even magnetic antenas need to be tuned

Actually, SWR = Standing Wave RATIO. And the meter is only to help get your SWR into an allowable limit, closest to 1 or 0 I think but not more than 2 is ideal, over 4 and you run the risk of damaging the radio.
And I researched and found your right about magnetic antennas needing tuning.
