[Elecraft] KAT100 and external watt meter question

[Stuart Rohre]

No, some of the Handbooks have the losses for various values of SWR and the
kind of loss table you found.

The loss table you found is for cable loss PER 100 FT.
That is intrinsic loss in coax due to its vast amounts of plastic dielectric
that you heat up, before you ever get to issues of SWR losses.

(That is a useful table at www.radiobooks for cable per foot losses.)

George points out the SWR calculation programs are readily available, and I
think Hamcalc may include one.  (The Murphy CDs of ham software).
