CONT

R. F. Power and V. S. W. R. Indicator Portable Tester... manufacturer : Air Canada. Use : To indicate forward or reflected power, when connected between transceiver and antenna.... [This] Tester is a device for measuring R. F. Power and Voltage Standing Wave Ratio(VSWR) of coaxial transmission lines. The tester when connected in series with the transmission line between the transmitter and the antenna will indicate the power transferred in the forward direction and the reflected power in the reverse direction. It has a frequency range of 0. 5 to 225 MHz.
