After reviewing the manual for my Bird 43, I have come to the
conclusion that the Zo of the SWR meter will have little or no
effect on the SWR readings when used in lines of other impedances.
The power indications will be off as the meter is calibrated for 50
ohm systems but the RATIO of forward to reflected used in the
SWR computation should remain the same.
