I measured the SWR at the point Cecil proposed. I don't recall him
specifying a transmission line either.


Everything was connected through three foot lengths of RG-400.
According to the guys over on sci.physics.electromag, that is a
long enough length to force a Z0 of 50 ohms upon the distributed
circuit. Is it easy for you to install some coax in your simulation?

Cecil,

There are models for both lossy and non lossy transmission line. I have not
used them, so it might take some learning. I can tell you though that given
a load and transmission line, if you find the Z at the meter with an HP
vector impedance meter, and then put a lumped impedance of that same value
at the meter, you will get the same results. The meter is a crude impedance
meter.
