Thanks to N3OC's incredible efforts, I now have a decent transmit
antenna for 160. When we were checking out the antenna, we noticed
that the wattmeter (RF Applications VFD) consistently read SWR lower
than the Orion SWR meter, and power lower than the Herc II bar graph.
My setup is this:
Orion --> Herc II --> VFD wattmeter --> 238 Tuner --> individual
antennas
In either instance, which is the/reliable one?
Thanks in advance,
