And it works fine.

So the question is: Is any part of the reflected power in the
mismatch loss calculation included in that 3 dB of additional
loss? The answer is 'yes' and whether it works fine or not is
irrelevant to the argument.

Indeed. If there is loss going one direction on a line, reflected power
going the other way suffers loss also.

The part about "works fine" was thrown in, not for you, but for those who
might be horrified by a high vswr.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to say.

My fault for delaying my response. I should have looked back for the
particular "read" post, instead of replying to the one "unread" at the
moment.

I was trying to add into the thread the figure 1 referenced. I look at it
as showing that at high VSWRs, reflected power takes more trips back and
forth through the line loss until the reflection becomes insignificant.
