Nov 25, 2018 at 22:11 comment added Kevin Reid AG6YO Note that this technique depends on the calibration of the wattmeter, and does not itself detect if the coax has damage leading to reflection rather than dissipation (you would want to verify the SWR is as good as without the coax, before assuming the watt figures are good).
