[TowerTalk] Circuit Board Question

[Steve Hunt]

Rick,

I already corrected this misunderstanding once: for a 2:1 SWR the 
maximum voltage will be 1.414 times the matched voltage, not double! The 
minimum voltage will be 0.707 times the matched voltage.

If V is the matched line voltage, Vmax=1.414xV and Vmin=V/1.414 giving 
Vmax/Vmin=2:1
