Where does the inconistency lie ? Does it lie in the change in effective

It lies in using the wrong coax Z0 for the situation. Assuming it's
long enough to develop 75 ohms, it will cause 4% of the forward power
to be reflected back toward the source at the meter. Guess you can't
call it a TLI after all since it is faithfully reporting the 50 ohm
SWR and not making the transmitter happy. :-)
