Think it was indicating HIGH actually. If I remember right, set at 5W, it was indicating 7W, and I was measuring 1.1W. I'll admit I'm not 100% sure, I didn't make enough notes. I could reproduce it tonight if you like?

I guess I could theoretically locate a fault by making measurements at various frequencies, plotting graphs, and spotting mins and maxes :-) The old ropey bit was allegedly used for 10base2 networking in the past, so SHOULD have been 50ohm, but what would be the expected behaviour if it was actually 75ohm cable, and how could I prove if it was? It's not as simple as measuring resistance of it, is it? -- "Nosey" Nick Waterman, G7RZQ, K2 #5209. #include <stddisclaimer> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't throw your computer out the window.
