Chuck, Next question: in the manual the ALT IMPEDANCE explantion uses a 4:1 transformer example, which I get. I've been toggling between RG213 50 ohm and rg6/u 75 ohm to observe differences, reasoning that if I use a 75 ohm feeder and get 2:0:1 or lower SWR values, the 50 ohm "system" would st

Thanks for your explanations Charlie es Tom. I guess return loss is the opposite of what it sounded like to me. At any rate, you've explained why it varies inversely with SWR. Next question: in the manual the ALT IMPEDANCE explantion uses a 4:1 transformer example, which I get. I've been togglin
