[TowerTalk] More Radials = Higher SWR???

[K8LX]

YES, absolutely. That mode plus the stub length calculations are 
extremely useful. The beauty of these self contained analyzers is how 
easy they are to use in the field. My only wish, though minor, would be 
the ability to store multiple OSL calibrations like one can do with the 
professional (expensive) VNA's (Anritsu, etc.).
