Assuming I have an antenna that is perfect on 3.8 MHz. Perfect being defined, as I am feeding it with exactly 1/2 electrical wave length of 50 Ohm feedline and it is 1:1 SWR measured at the source end. What would the SWR be if I substituted the 50 Ohm feedline with a 1/2 wavelength of 72 Ohm feedline? The SWR on the 72 ohm feedline would measure 1.44:1. You do have an SWR meter calibrated for 72 ohms, don't you? :-) Your 50 ohm SWR meter will measure 1:1, but as Reg says, it is merely measuring the degree of match to your transmitter designed for 50 ohm loads. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
