will jump about

Rick, You are welcome.

I have on occasion, for educational reasons and to avoid the many
misunderstandings, recommended a change in the name of the ubiquitous
SWR meter. It does not measure SWR and usually there is no line on
which the SWR purports to be measured. And reflected power is somewhat
meaningless or at least useless information.

However, where it is located, it is an extremely valuable indicating
instrument. I have suggested the name be changed to TLI (Transmitter
Loading Indicator) which it actually is. Unfortunately, there are too
many old wives in the way and it interferes with their ancient,
pre-1950 traditions.
