Of course, you were simply getting a same-cycle reflection. The reflected
wave model is consistent. If the open-circuit is at the transmitter terminal,
all the power is reflected immediately.

Cecil,

I don't have a schematic for the Daiwa. So, I don't really know what it was
measuring; but, I think more than likely, the voltage that reached the
meter. If the scale were calibrated in gallons per minute, I might have read
2.5 gallons per minute.
