the lowest reflected power. As long as it is low enough the rig puts out
full power, that is the main thing in most cases.

Thanks again for your educational and informative response. I have certainly learned a lot with your help. Thank You!
As luck would have it, today I picked up another one with 2 UHF cables at a thrift store for $5, I couldn't pass it up (the cables alone were worth it) . This one is a Midland 26-126 and it's damaged. One of the 150 ohm R is burned and open, not sure of any other damage. I'm going to replace both resistors and try to get a matched set (close as possible). I have yet to test the meter movement, that's next.
Thanks again Ralph. It is appreciated.
