Where do you get CB's tuned?!

Im having problems finding a place to get my CB tuned. I guess I could just buy a SWR meter, but, ehh..

I've looked in the yellow pages, and I find a ton of truck service shops and whatnot, but they seem to be pointed towards mechanical services and not electrical or radio needs.

Any help on where to go?

Thanks!

Any truck stops around the area? They're usually pretty good with CB radio gear since it's a large part of a trucker's life.

Like, what should I look for in the yellow pages? Santa Cruz has no big-rig/truck shops in the area. I drive out here to Fresno a lot, which is right on a large trucking route, so they have a ton of stuff, but, its all geared towards mechanical services and says nothing else. Should I just assume that they would do it? I guess I cfan just call..

Your best bet is to go to Fry's Electronics CLICK HERE to find the NorCal store near you. They sell a SWR meter for $9.99. It works great. I bought one and love it... BTW. I lost it for a while and bought a second one... Now that I am thinking... If you want, you can have my second one for shipping costs alone. Pretty light, should be able to do it for the minimum priority mail fee... Up to you.

Message me if interested.
