Using my Autek RF1 analyst, I get different Swr values and
resonance at various places in the shack. Every
connector/coax cable changes Swr and resonance, including
before and after the MFJ 2 pole antenna switch. Finally,
measuring Swr right at the coax end at the transceiver, I
get a different value and resonance on the RF1 compared to
the Yaesu rig. All cables are 50 ohms cuz I checked them
too. A note that any cables not 50 ohms will exacerbate
the problem. So, what indeed is true resonance/Swr but in
the eye of the beholder ??
