Hello Nick,
Sorry, for some reason I always call it a scopeMETER wheras I really
mean a Scopematch, and I too have built it to give equal height
traces. the traces are perfect sine waves and near as damn it can be
laid on top of each other and one disappears, so near as damn it a
perfect match. I was asking how the current increase shown if I run
more power relates to the current in the antenna itself, can I use it
as a shack based antenna current meter, or are the two not really
related? Thanks.
