[Elecraft] KAT100 and external watt meter question

[Stuart Rohre]

ACTUALLY, the antenna performs the same whether or not you have SWR equal to
1:1!

The only difference when not 1:1 impedance relation to the feedline, is that
there will be higher line losses.  Pattern, radiation efficiency etc. are
not a function of SWR, but of antenna design, height, construction material
etc.

The antenna does not care about what line is connected to it, it is going
"to do its thing" with whatever power reaches the antenna after
rereflections.
