It measures the Standing Wave Ratio. You need to adjust the length of the antenna to get the SWR below 2.0:1, as I understand it. Not tuning your antenna can cause damage to the CB radio.

I may grow older but I refuse to grow up!
The Radio Shack here in Oregon hooked up to mine and read it for me for free ( I bought the K-40 antenna there) They might do that where you are. I don't know if you bought anything there. I'm sure it helped in my situation.
