Default tuner - feedline - antenna question ?

To get the power delivered to the load, you must subtract
reflected power from forward power. In your case that seems
to be:
Pfwd - Pref = Pload = ~Psource
200w - 100w = 100w = ~100w


How can that be? If the meter is basically a directional coupler then the
forward power is just that. Subtracting any reflected power will just give a
stupid answer. The only errors will be due to the directivity of the
coupler, which will give a band of uncertainty which varies with VSWR, and
the error due to the accuracy of the detectors.

My Bird does not subtract any reflected power to give a forward power
reading!! It can't I need to rotate the slug to read reverse power.
