Hi All, I've been slowly putting on line my tower installation with a TH7DX and a M2 40 mtr dipole atop a 55ft crankup. I've noticed a strange behavior since switching from a tuned dipole. My Clipper

If you mean that the meter shows extra high power on frequencies for which the SWR is high, this is an inaccurate power reading caused by the meter's being designed to work properly only on a relativ

Hi Jonathan, Wattmeters are most accurate at their designed input and output impedance (50 ohms for our communications stuff). Even a BIRD is not accurate for forward power when a high SWR is present

The M2 sits about 5 ft above the TH7DX on the towers mast. Also the M2 is rotated 90 deg from the TH7DX, so I would think they are not coupled. Do you know diffferent? Thanks for the quick reply. Jon

Someone suggested this belongs on Tower Talk - NOT! It's an amplifier related question. If you have a high SWR, your power meter WILL very likely read higher power than would be read under a "normal"

Perhaps the amp is being overdriven or is mistuned. I still don't understand whether the problem is that the SWR on a given band goes up as the power output goes up, or if the power that the meter sh

OK, Let's try to make some sense to this: 1.) Do you have a dummy load? If so, try running the amp on the affected band into the dummy load. Does all work fine then? 2.) What SWR do you get on your a

Barefoot most of the SWRs are good, 1.5-2.0:1. The exceptions are 3.0:1 in the high end 15mtr band (ca. 21.800mhz) and 5-8:1 in the 40 mtr band. No, this is occurring on all the bands. Well, now you'

Absolutely! With a perfect swr meter one would expect the SWR reading to remain the same as you increase power from 1 watt to 1 megawatt (at least until the coax starts to melt). 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresn

The SWR should remain the same no matter what you do to the tuning of the amp. If the SWR changes with power, then you do have a problem with the coax. What kind of coax are you using? I hope RG-8 or

Yes. Adjusting the load control on the amp effectively tunes the tank of the amp to somewhat match the impedance seen on the transmission line. However, in terms of an SWR meter and a 50 Ohm system,
