Anyway.... even if not before, by this weekend I will be able to get away
from this dern computer! and go build "SOMETHING!!!!" Warmest regards, John "John Smith" wrote in message ... | Ahhh Reg, I am NOT an "inventor", I have to work for a living (boss claims | he pays me for nothing anyway!!! grin)... darn lucky if I can get | "proven" ideas to function properly but, if you think that stops me--think | again!!! wishful-grin | | | | And, you don't have to warn me, from personal experience, ham swaps, ham | friends, observations (not just picking on hams, name another group--they | are there too!)--I realize there are a few which would attempt to patent | sewer water and sell it for profit!!! (old boat anchors too...) | | | | I am quite honest, I want a "simpler" SWR meter (and, that is a problem, all | the ones standing around with $$$ signs in their eyes are too busy or afraid | they will give away a "million-dollar-idea" away to the newbie’s--that is NO | HELP!!! Or, else "swollen egos" just get in the way... it gets tiring | bowing all the time--I have NO time, no one really does grin!) | | | | I don't care if the darn thing is "accurate" or not!!! | | | | I don't care if it can tell me EXACTLY what SWR I have or not (well, being | able to note a ~1:1 is VERY desirable--but just "lowest possible" is | sufficient) EXCEPT to be able to indicate "better" and "worse." | | | | Having to construct "directional couplers" from coax and tubing or pc board | etches just puts me off... I am trying to shave a bit of complication | away--NOT to mention SIZE!... I'd even borrow Occams' old dull razor if I | could!!! grin | | | | And, Cecils offering of the "two lamp" swr indicator is perfect!!! Too bad | I can't think of a way to make it function, easily, for coax (and, the | "lamps" are not "hardened" enough against damage--would have to use LEDS)... | | | | If I find what I am looking for, I'll know it--the most I'll ever do is | build a bunch and give 'em away to my "good-ole CB buddies!" "10-4 | Good-Buddy?" grin | | | | Warmest regards, | | John | | | | "Reg Edwards" wrote in message | ... || John, from your circuit, if you change the direction of current in the || coaxial conductor through the ferrite ring, nothing happens. Why || should it? || || The only thing worthy of consideration is your determined persistence. || || As I have said before, as may be gleaned from other contributors, you || are in good company. || || Beware, the amount of effort the old wives are putting into it might || give you the impression it's worth while making a patent application. || || On the other hand, what with the state of expertise in the Patent || Office, you may possibly succeed. But you will never get rich enough || to recover your legal expenses. || ---- || Reg, G4FGQ || || | | |
