In view of the many years of confusion, misunderstandings, heated arguments, caused amonst radio amateurs by referring to that essential instrument, located between the transmitter output and its tuner/matching network, as an SWR meter, it is proposed its NAME be changed to the TLI. ie., - the TRANSMITTER LOADING INDICATOR - which it what it actually is. Hi Reg, D'you suppose you could explain just a wee bit more what you mean by "Transmitter Loading Indicator"? I'd have thought my rig's plate current meter (and its response to the "tuning" and "loading" controls) handled that pretty well. Cheers, Tom |

Which is all the operator needs to know and is all the so-called SWR ever indicates. If you use your plate current meter (minimum dip) to monitor correct loading of your PA, then your variable PA tank circuit becomes the tuner, and you have not merely abandoned the name of the so-called SWR meter - you have completely abolished the instrument from your shack. Congratulations! ---- Reg, G4FGQ |
