that you could "calibrate" to 50 or 75 ohms, or less.

The calibration of the SWR meter is controlled by the internal sampling
load resistor, the 'R' in Peter's V + IR equation. I have a home-brewed
SWR meter that measures SWR on both balanced 450 ohm feedlines and on
300 ohm feedlines simply by changing the internal load resistors.

Cecil,

When you do this, does the scale still display the correct SWR for
conditions other than 1:1 ?
