Newbie here. Thanks for adding me to the forum.
I have a Uniden CMX760 in my pickup with a Wilson1000 on the roof. I’m getting low SWR with this setup.
I’m getting ready to install a RM-KL200P with a Morgan-411CB 11m band pass filter on the transmit side.
So here’s my question, do I need to tune the antenna again after installing the amp/filter? If so, would the SWR meter be before or after the amp/filter?
Thanks in advance.

Yes check the wave Both before and after the amp to be sure. I have seen a few amps with bad wave. When you add your amp check the wave on back side of radio to the amp then check from the output of the amp to the antenna.
