Meters with remotes...

[SmackDown]

When using a swr/power meter with the remote connection, is it okay to connect the remote directly to the radio or should a coax jumper always be used ?

I don't see why there would be a problem with connecting directly to the radio, unless it might be 'mechanical'. It would introduce some stress on the radio's connector, no idea if it would be excessive, just a thought.

Probably not a good idea unless the remote is resting on something.
If it is just hanging off the radio (on a mobile) you may have problems.
