I plead guilty. I knew when I wrote it that the choice was poor but
couldn`t think of a better phrase at the moment.

Terman says on page 76 of his 1955 edition:
"Alternatively, a load impedance may be matched to a source of power in
such a way as to make the power delivered to the load a maximum. (see
footnote) The power delivered to the load under these conditions is
termed the "available power" of the power source."

Walter Maxwell straightened me out on my carelessness on this long ago,
and I repeated anyway. Dang me!

I think this is what causes much of the discussion here. Terms are not
always as clear cut as things like: voltage or resistance. We know those,
but some of the others are more vague...or just what concept they point to
is not obvious. It is also sometines difficult to determine what the KEY
point or word is of a question or statement.
When I read yours, I made the assumption that "available power" was not
where your question pointed. I went along the; "Can we get a non 50-50
division? and not waste so much in the stage" path.
It is clear that different responders "Hear" different question.

Cryminy crum! I think my brain has forgotten how to hit the keys "on" in
the correct order. I keep getting things like "questino" for
"question"....or is it a keyboard timing issue??? As my fingers fly
along...
