what type meter I had same prob with RadioShack meter it went really stupid on me so went to dosy aint had no prob yet and swr is reflective power meaning high swr puts power back in youre radio that's why it burns finals
What type of system transmits without a transmission line in the HF frequency?
nice try,... where did I limit my comment to HF?
but, since you asked,...... how about a random (or even a non random) length end fed antenna, worked against ground, connected directly to the rig?
NO...so im wonder ing if a bad antenna can draw more watts out of a radio, or my meters are bad
Thread starter posted a 2950, HF rig not VHF or UHF.
so what?, I guess a "gross mismatch" can only happen on HF then?
I notice you never replied about the end fed antenna w/o a transmission line:tongue:
