For example if load SWR is 2:1 (9.5dB RL) and we add a 3 dB pad, return loss is 15.5 dB (1.4:1 SWR). That should make more sense! ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
