Makes a change from so-called SWR meters.


Ah Reggie!

Hardly, SWR was the second most considered technical hurdle in the
development of RADAR.

Ah Rich!, Yet again you deliberately distort my meaning in your
amusing game of 0ne-Upmanship.


For the benefit of lurkers, there's a great difference between meters
which purport to measure SWR at HF, but do no such thing and tell
lies, and probes inserted in waveguides at 3 GHz which tell the truth.

Sorry, I don't see any difference between making voltage measurements
with a directional coupler and calculating SWR through meter calibration
and making voltage measurements on a slotted line and calculating SWR
with a calculator or pencil and paper.

Best I can tell is you are saying there is no such thing as a SWR meter.

That's like saying there is no such thing as an airspeed meter in an
airplane; the meter really measures air impact pressure.

If that is your point, so what?
