As Tim Williams alludes, it depends on the transmitter design.


Hi Bob,

No quantifiable answer I see. It's not unexpected, everyone who knows
what it isn't has never been able to say what it is. It seems like
the stock answer you give the cop who asks if you know the speed
limit.
"No. But I wasn't speeding!"

The dependency here started with a conventional Ham transmitter, one
so ordinary as to be a commodity. The design is not so exotic as to
elude a very simple value - except for those who know it isn't 50
Ohms.
