Jerry has a slotted line - described here in loving detail some time
ago. It and the meter so attached is perfectly capable of measuring
all the factors stated.

Which is all he wants to know anyway.

which is an assumption (or a forced argument, take your pick) as he
has already reconciled any mis-understandings.

Yep, no trick, just tricky fingers, getting worse with age.

The 0.9dB stated earlier was (as stated) for 552 which had a Zo closer
to your 380 ohms, whereas 554 is 360 ohms.

I measured the 554 at 380 ohms. I could have been off by 5%.

Given that some radios (including the IC706-IIG) reduce drive power at
high VSWR as a protection mechanism, you may want to install an ATU to
develop full power output. My recollection is that the power output of
the IC706-IIG is significantly down at VSWR=2, but it probably also
depends on the actual load impedance.

I have never witnessed my IC-706 folding back at any resistive
load between 25 ohms and 100 ohms. My IC-706 manual says, "When
the SWR is *higher* than approx. 2.0:1, the transceiver's power
drops to protect the final transistors."
