 Most of those don't screw in and out. They're just push-pull, then
 a twist locks it in place.

 One way, is to over-modulate the transmitter by as much as you dare,
 and then look for lowest over-all reflected while modulated.
 This will give you the broadest flatest bandwidth without an analyzer.

 You want to use tone modulation if possible.
