Hi Chad,
I think unless you saw the original item on my website you wouldn't have
seen the "other" option directly under it which says for the better
quality
SWR/PWR meters to go directly before the antenna. Im not sure if Lancer
is
picking up on this one point and missed the next line because he was
chuckling at me chuckling at him, and yes, I also agree reflected power
from
the Antenna is important especially when kicking power.


Ahh I can see clearly now Did not note that.

That said its amazing to me the amount of people who go on air and seem to
work reasonably well who have never even heard of a SWR meter never mind
tuned in their antenna... scary stuff.......that's one of the reasons I
had
an accessory page on my website and a brief description in layman's terms
of
what they are for.



Well, if they never check reflected power or don't even know what it is and
their rig blows up then I guess we could call that "natural selection."

At least we won't have to hear them
