Kindly desist in trying to put words into my mouth.

I have NOT said that changing the source impedance changes the SWR
indication. It doesn't !
. . .

I posted:

Source impedance DOES affect the amount of energy moving in and sloshing
around in a transmission line. It DOESN'T affect the ratio of forward to
reflected waves, and therefore DOESN'T affect the SWR.


To which you replied:

===========================

But it DOES affect the indicated SWR and so the indicated SWR is incorrect.

and:

If the source is not what the meter expects then it gives the wrong answers.
And its faithful worshippers believe it!

Better check on the worm-wood content of that wine you've been drinking.
Another tip is to save a copy of each message you post. Then when you
encounter that blank spot in your memory, you can at least read what you
posted the night before.

Sad, isn't it, when the Old Wives can remember stuff you wrote better
than you can.
