Well, can't remember where I seen that "directional coupler", but will be
willing to give the designer credit if he makes himself know...

The led indicating circuit is my design...

It seems to work, all I have is another SWR with analog meter I constructed
myself to compare it with, soon as I locate someone with a commercial
meter--I will compare both of mine to it... Only real apparent problem is
the REF led changes brightness slowly (and here it is hard to "judge" SWR by
brilliance), until right at, or near, match, when it will plunge to darkness
rather quickly...

Well, show me what is wrong and suggest an alternative circuit or mods to
set it proper (or explain in text, I will see how good I am at word problems
here)--I am all EARS Cecil... smile

Regards,
John
