Popular Misconceptions.
 

Everything appears quiet on the Western Front. So let's waken things
up.

Is there anybody about who still imagines that an SWR meter, located
in the transmitter, or even on the other side of the tuner, indicates
SWR on the transmission line between transmitter and the antenna?

If it's a stand-alone SWR meter with three foot 50 ohm
coax cables on the input and output, then it is located
in a 50 ohm environment and is indeed indicating the correct
SWR. The thing that makes an SWR meter indicate a valid value
is if its physical environment is extensive enough to force
the impedance ratio of Vfor/Ifor = Vref/Iref = 50 ohms.

Back when I got my first license, those things were called
transmatches. Seems you would like that name better than
SWR meter. TRANSmitter MATCHing device = Transmatch.

Hello again Walt, I trust you are well.

I wouldn't go so far as listing them as morons. Just unfortunates who
have been afflicted by the plagiarist outpourings of old wives who are
still in the 1950's

A long thread is not expected. People are reluctant to admit past
beliefs. I was just testing the present situation. But you never can
tell, people may write in just to disprove my expectations. There's
much to be learned in addition to mere SWR.

Yours, Reg.

Cecil your argument begins with a big "If".

If only pigs could fly!

Nevertherless I agree with your name Transmatch. As you already know,
I myself advocate renaming the SWR meter as a TLI - Transmitter
Loading Indicator - which is what it actually is.

By no stretch of the imagination is it a Standing Wave Meter.

An SWR meter is no different from any other piece of
measuring equipment. One shouldn't use a DC ohm-meter
to measure RF impedance. One shouldn't use an SWR meter
designed for a Z0=50 ohm environment in an environment
where Z0 is unknown or non-existant.

Earlier, I didn't mean to imply that the SWR meter was
known as a Transmatch. It was the entire antenna tuner
that was (and still is) known as a Transmatch.

Why is there a formula to quantify reflected power from an SWR reading? I
have been using SWR meters all my life to check on reflected power from the
antenna. This simple act has worked very very well for me through the years.
I did this in my younger days professionaly for Raytheon. When I had tuned
the antenna tuner or the antenna itself for a 1:1 match, suddenly I have a
system that talks a long way. What was wrong with that?

In all seriousness, Reg, don't you think it would be better to be a
bit more clear about what you mean by the "other side of the tuner".
So far as I'm concerned, until I know what side of the tuner to which
you refer, I wouldn't want to comment.

Reg,

Instead of yet another posting on the topic beyond the 20 or so you've
already blessed us with proposing the new TLA (three letter acronym) of
TLI, why don't you start by contacting Agilent (formerly HP), Narda,
Anritsu, and the other manufacturers of precision terminators? Surely
those professionals will see the impeccable logic of your proposal, and
will immediately cease publishing a maximum SWR specification for their
terminators. Then the manufacturers of RF transistors, directional
couplers, attenuators, and other RF devices, which now have input SWR
specifications, will follow. Of course, they can't call the former SWR
the TLI, since it's not indicating anything, and there's not necessarily
a transmitter involved. And the whole object here is to be consistent
and rational, after all. So how about "RER" for "Reg Edwards Ratio", as
in "guaranteed maximum RER = 1.1"? No one should confuse that with
anything else.

Wouldn't this be a wonderful world (AWW) if only we were always strictly
logical (ASL)?

Bob,

To follow that American tennis player : "You can't be serious!

If initially it's inside the transmitter then on the other side of the
tuner implies it's on the other side of the tuner from the
transmitter.

Unless, of course, it's mounted in the 115V power lead TO the
transmitter.

Now can you comment? ;o)

I did to get "ploinked" was to say that an antenna is a

Cecil:

You know, that wasn't right, I just passed that off with such a "frivolous
air."

It is a shame to see one erect him/herself as a "God", intolerant,
commanding and shoving a stone tablet into your hands. Removing
themselves to a "throne" which none can visit (debate, argument, learning)
except if commanded (allowed?) to do so.

(must make it difficult to sit down, for the "God" I mean, attempting to
take a seat with multiple lips stuck to yer bottom! Poor bugger! grin)

What causes this to occur I really can only guess at, best guess is
blinded by the light of their own ego, but may affect the elderly more-so
than other groups, we all need to be aware, we will all be there...

I understand and pity them, have seen the same within my immediate
family... frown

Sorry, but amateur radio is meant to be a hobby (at least one use of it
is!), I don't think it is a crime to have a bit of fun either. Amateur
radio assuming a "pseudo-military" air ruins its' use to many and attracts
far too many with a rigid, disciplinarian and warrior mentality...

And, sorry again, I see newsgroups as a "social cocktail party", or a
"town hall meeting", not a church where you worship gods and get a sermon
by a priest... of course, my demeanor here has all ready given that
away--most likely... I like the complex and intricate here--your
arguments along with richards' and others are appreciated (you cause me
to dig out my programmable calculator and follow along), and the
practical is much appreciated too, even the "unconventional" challenging
the accepted is/are good for brain food...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The skinny woman reminds me of Louis Prima`s selection from Capitol
Records T836, "Call of the Wildest". The selection is "Closest to the
Bone". We had Louis Prima V-Disks aboard our ship during WW-2. They were
about the most popular of all our disks. With today`s "correctness"
Louis would be relegated to V-Disks or Vegas. He was a huge hit in both
places.

In Louie`s lyric, "the nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. When his
sweetie drinks a glass of wine, she looks just like a thermometer", and
other crazy stuff. Louis Prima was one of a kind. We could use some of
his fun and musicianship today. His Cornet would compete with Louis
Armstrong or Harry James. His orchestra could compete too. Sam Butera`s
Saxophone was competition for Tex Beneke. Too bad the great music and
entertainers are almost gone.

Back in the day, when I was a young navy officer, I had my share of liasions
with the ladies. One thing I noticed was that those women who deny
themselves the pleasure of food, denied themselves in other pleasures as
well.

It evolved in to a hard fast rule that if she ordered "only a salad, I am on
a diet" she was taken home right after dinner and removed from future
consideration.

The women that were the most enjoyable in all aspects can be characterized
by Annette Funachello. I actually got to meet her once as I used to go out
with Candy Johnson. You might remember her as the short haired blonde dancer
with the fringed outfits in all the beach movies.

The skinny woman reminds me of Louis Prima`s selection from Capitol
Records T836, "Call of the Wildest". The selection is "Closest to the
Bone". We had Louis Prima V-Disks aboard our ship during WW-2. They were
about the most popular of all our disks. With today`s "correctness"
Louis would be relegated to V-Disks or Vegas. He was a huge hit in both
places.

In Louie`s lyric, "the nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. When his
sweetie drinks a glass of wine, she looks just like a thermometer", and
other crazy stuff. Louis Prima was one of a kind. We could use some of
his fun and musicianship today. His Cornet would compete with Louis
Armstrong or Harry James. His orchestra could compete too. Sam Butera`s
Saxophone was competition for Tex Beneke. Too bad the great music and
entertainers are almost gone.
