You still don't understand. Do you want to?
I'll post exactly what I'm doing if you want to know.
The simple answer, this antenna analyzer has to DC meters
that display R and SWR. I'm reading the voltage across one of those meters
with my meter set on DC 200mV scale.
Might help if Googled MFJ259 Schematic, don't get the 259B, not the
same.

OK, It is my fault for not understanding where you were placing the meter.
I see now that you are just hooking across one of the meters on the MFJ to
get a more accurate measurement.

I thought you were placing it across the actual resistor hooked to the MFJ.



Ahh, no problem, sometimes hard to explain things when details you
see as obvious may not be seen that way by others. Glad you got it,
but I'm still a bit lost. The Formula John S gave me was close but not
close enough. They are into a problem with excell now, don't know if
they will get back to me or not :-).
