50 watts is entering the line, and 25 watts is exiting. The line loss is
3 dB. Surely you're able to make this calculation yourself.

I don't feel a need for a definition of a "power ratio". What you've
defined is indeed the ratio of two powers, but it escapes me of what use
it is except perhaps to cause confusion.

The answer is simple. 25 watts.


That was a given, Roy. The question is: what is the feedline
loss in dB?

What do you think about Jim's definition of the power ratio
being (feedline losses)/(feedline losses + load power)?
