    We have a winner.

    Thank you.

    When someone brought up the use of a 75 ohm jumper, others jumped on this as being a bad thing when it may not be all that bad if you understand what's going on. The power to check the SWR after the meter is really not important and the radio sees the 75 ohms as just a mismatch between the radio and the meter so if this is all you have, then you should see no ill effects when using a meter.

    I am not advocating using it as a feedline unless you have your "tech" retune the ***end of the radio but overall it can be done and is done in some antenna systems.
