I tested my bridges by connecting them to a 3 m long piece of RG213 type 50
ohm coax that was terminated by a 50 ohm resistor (actually two 100 ohm
resistors in parallel). That produces a standing wave ratio of 2 in the
cable.

Dick,
          maybe today I'm a bit denser than the usual. If your RG213 cable was
terminated on its typical impedance, shouldn't the SWR have been 1:1  ?
The 50 ohm resistor at the end should have entirely absorbed the RF energy
with no reflections. But maybe I misunderstood you.
Thanks for any clarification.
