Yet another violation of Initial Conditions. Signal Generator outputs
are calibrated into a 50 Ohm Load.

In a signal generator equipped with a circulator/load, the signal
generator indeed does always see close to a 50 ohm load so, no
problem.

Another violation of Initial
Conditions is that Signal Generators do not source 100W.

Hams understand 100W and since this was a mental exercise,
I used 100W. If I had used 10 dBm, I would have lost most
of the readers.

Richard, I don't recall an "Initial Conditions List". Perhaps
you could point me to the posting that listed them. Who is the
"Initial Conditions" God, anyway?
