Into any grounded box, mic cable or wire, that was a counterpoise, because the antenna does not satisfy resonance, so this becomes heat and current the microphone audio amplifier, voltage regulators, and rf final has to eat, while transmitting the current rf wave. That is really good VSWR's for an antenna not on an actual countepoise.
It is accidental BOSE tech, a wave being transmitted, gets nulled by a wave returning 180° out of phase, but the heat and current is still there. Also could strain the power supply and add ac hum to signal, or a feedback squeak.
Reflected power joins the forward power or the incident wave back to antenna and radiated by the antenna, it does not heat up your finals of your transmitter, or into any other cable or mic, your are misunderstanding common mode current with reflected power
If I have a 250 watt element I use the top scale (goes to 25) on the meter right? The RF calculator is fantastic!
@cbradiohawaii Thank You for your comments, we really appreciate it!
thanks for the demo
reflected power is 1% to 4% of the forward power.
The antenna needs some ground plane to work correct, i think a car roof will show you a more correct result...
That lil mag mount will talk all over when you slap it on top of the fridge or other tall, metal appliance.
First time I've ever heard of VSWR referred to as "Viswar"
So subtract the 2 watts ref. from the forward power and get 4 watts forward and that is your correct power.
Where does the 2.4 watts go???
How we can measure SWR
Cleveland!
@eogg25 Your welcome!

I have been saying "viswar" wrong all this time
Thanks for watching! Don't worry, pronunciation can be tricky sometimes. We appreciate your support!
