Ken,
Motorola 721 specifically says the device IS NOT MATCHED.


It say " Strictly speaking..." is that the section you are refering to?

Yes they do say that but then if you follow the design through, I think
you will find that they try to cancel the reactive component. If you then
put in the output device protection they didn't include, you end up with
the matching as I explained elsewhere. As the impedance moves away from
what the designer intended, the radiated power decreases.

The point is that the OP was taking about hooking a "transmitter" to a
length of wire. I was talking about the matching from a complete
transmitter which I assume contains such protection to this length of
wire.
