To be honest, I, and my ham friends, never had to use photon theory to

Knowing that EM RF waves must necessarily obey the laws of photon
physics can save one from all sorts of technical blunders. But feel
free to blunder on.

Hello Cecil,

Maybe you should change your attitude from "it is wrong" to "it may be
true". This might open your mind to study other insights.

When measuring an RF current in a PA, everybody ignores the
quantisation of charge. Is this lack of knowledge?

The frequency of our waves is sufficiently low to ignore any
quantisation effects due to photons. Is this lack of knowledge? In my
opinion a good Engineer knows what he can ignore and what not to
efficiently solve a certain task.

Starting a discussion about photons, in my opinion, is a way to reduce
the S/N ratio of the discussion.

With kind regards,

Hi, Wim -

I believe his confusion is the one-port vs two-port problem. I don't
have a problem with your explanation. But, I think he is throwing in a
port where he should not.

Cheers,
John
