Nice change of topic and target. Never mind the technology, it's
easier for you to attack the writer(s).

Intech Inc. The AN/SRD-21 Homer (direction finder) receiver required
two matched antennas with two matched coax cables. The phase error
between the two cables had to be within about +/-1 degree at 156 MHz
or about 0.5mm in length. It was possible to cut the coax cables
(RG-58C/U) accurately. However minor variations in velocity factor
would produce variations in phase. There were two dual cable each
20ft and 30ft long. Initially, it seemed difficult, but the eventual
solution was quite simple.

Here's the USCG service manual:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/AN-SRD-21/>
No PWM modulation was involved.

At PMC (Pacific Mobile Comm) and other 2way radio shops. We build our
own coaxial cables. Connectors varied from tiny SMB to quite large
Heliax connectors. Cables varied from RG-175/u to 1 5/8" Heliax. Most
had to be tested for loss, added VSWR, impedance bumps, air leaks,
etc.

I also own several SWR meters, reflection coefficient bridges, TDR
(time domain reflectometers), VNA (Vector Netork Analyzers), RF sweep
generators, spectrum analyzers, terminations, coax adapters, etc. In
other words, I'm well equipped to "test cables" at home:
<http://www.learnbydestroying.com/jeffl/pics/home/#img=test-equip-mess.jpg>
Yes, it's old, but almost everything works.

Your turn. Please provide corroborating evidence that PWM is used to
test cables.

Came across this on a site that was discussing Trump's psychology.

According to DSM-5, individuals with NPD have most (at least five) or
all of the symptoms listed below (generally without commensurate
qualities or accomplishments).

1. Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment by others.
2. Fixated on fantasies of power, success, intelligence,
attractiveness, etc.
3. Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with
high-status people and institutions.
4. Needing constant admiration from others.
5. Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from
others.
6. Exploitative of others to achieve personal gain.
7. Unwilling to empathize with others' feelings, wishes, or needs.
8. Intensely jealous of others and the belief that others are equally
jealous of them.
9. Pompous and arrogant demeanor.

DSM-5 - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth
Edition.

I would classify Trump as a cluster B type, although he's very
different from Krygowski's narcissism.

I think several of us make that assumption until Tom's statements are

Which of my posts are you referring to?

In response to the tricycle rider's query about why I considered myself
qualified on bike safety matters, I listed some of my qualifications.
Aside from that, I may have mentioned some life experiences, but none of
that was for bragging purposes.

So again, which posts are you referring to? Got links?

Bullshit! My EV absolutely knows how many kilowatt-hours it's gotten.

(And notice that Tom got the units wrong, as usual. Kilowatts per hour
is NOT a measurement of energy.)

To quote someone posting very recently: "Why do you advertise your own

The only instrument that I have which can measure S-parameters
(scattering parameters) directly is the nanoVNA. Here's what it looks
like on the tiny display:
<https://nanovna.com/?page_id=64>
Notice that it will only measure input reflection loss (S11) and
insertion loss (S21). I'll admit that I haven't used VNA's (vector
network analyzer) very often. Instead, I prefer to "build" my own
with an RF sweep generator and a reflection coefficient bridge:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=reflection+coefficient+bridge&tbm=isch>
or a return loss bridge:
<https://www.google.com/search?q=return+loss+bridge&tbm=isch>
I have a few of these (various models):
<https://www.ebay.com/itm/253200375060>
For S-parameter calculations, I use APPCAD:
<https://www.broadcom.com/info/wireless/appcad>
<https://www.rfpage.com/free-tools-to-analyze-and-plot-s-parameters-file/>
VNA's are much nicer and will do more, but a sweeper, bridge, loads,
and a spectrum analyzer were good enough for what I was doing.

For those who are wondering what we're discussing, this might help:

Well, maybe some videos:

Got it right here.... No real qualifications, just attenting
classes...

The rest is all brag.

Am I qualified to talk about such things? Yes, by virtue of attending multiple
classes at various levels for each of the programs described above. I've also acted
as an editorial consultant on two well known books dealing with those matters.
I've written many articles on those and related topics, and had some of them
reprinted by publications in other states and one other country. I no longer maintain
the teaching certification, but I've taught many cycling classes, I've written scripts for
and appeared in televised instructional spots, I've been interviewed for newspapers and
TV on such matters, and I've spoken (by request) at city, regional and statewide gatherings.

The name is cute "Very Tiny Handheld Network Analyzer".
My only experience with S-parameter/network analysis is with one of these setups: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284022669514?campid=5338967984&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0

Of course the floriduh dumbass once again shows his 4th grade reading comprehension by missing:

" In response to the tricycle rider's query about why I considered myself qualified on bike safety matters, I listed some of my qualifications."

When you ask someone what makes them qualified, their answer doesn't constitute bragging, dumbass.

The dumbass then reveals his dearth of character by ignoring:

In floriduh dumbass world, actually using the skills gained through education and experience aren't "real qualifications".

Contrast this with the dumbasses claims to being able to diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder - because he read an article on it once.

Ignorance, arrogance, and hypocrisy all wrapped up into one fat old dumbass.. Making floriduh proud!

John, you have posted about your growing up in rural New England, about
your Associate's Degree, about your military experience, about working
for oil companies in Southeast Asia, about your expertise with shooting
and gunsmithing, about building your own bike frame, about your cycling
in Thailand and much more. Yet "just like Tommy, not a speck of evidence
that it's not all one big lie."

I can document many of the items I listed in that paragraph, but I doubt
it would be productive. The Florida tricycle rider bitched similarly,
but when I provided some documentation claimed it was just bragging.

So: YOU document your life first. Prove you're not the Florida codger's
sock puppet.

Writing articles and being interviewed does nothing to verify your
skill, even if you had verified all that brag.

As Frank mentioned, an EV doesn't do that. Instead of a voltmeter,
which is a very inaccurate SoC (state of charge) indicator, it uses a
"coulomb counter" exactly in the same manner as your Smartphone
measures its SoC. From the company for which you've never worked[1]:
"Battery Fuel Gauge and Coulomb Counter"

Lithium-Ion State of Charge (SoC) measurement
<https://www.powertechsystems.eu/home/tech-corner/lithium-ion-state-of-charge-soc-measurement/>

Also, Frank noticed that your claim that Kw/h is not a measure of
energy. Here, you have many choices. I prefer Joules or Watt-seconds
as units of energy, but there are others that are useful for confusing
your audience as well as yourself:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule>

>Oh, wait, I don't know anything about batteries and YOU do.

That's the first claim I've read where you've gotten everything
totally correct. Congratulations.

Incidentally, nobody cares what you allegedly know. They only care
about what you can do. Personally, I don't care about you having your
amazing facts stored in your brain. That matters little if anyone can
search the web for the correct answer in a few seconds. They don't
need your amazing facts. By consistently providing the wrong answer,
all you're doing is slowing everyone else down.

Old Frankie seems to have missed the boat. He brags that he has done
all these wonderful things as proof that he really, truly, is an
expert.

I on the other hand have posted mentions of when or where I was when
something occurred. If I mention a naked bloke running around carrying
a spear it might be interesting for the reader to know that it
happened in the wilds of Indonesia... not main street U.S.A. But the
mention is hardly proof of anything.

Now Frankie runs about shouting:"You show you yours and I'll show you
mine", as proof of what? The reality is, of course, he is trying to
avoid showing you his? But why? Is it because he can't really justify
all his claims to greatness? Another Tom Kunich?

After all, Tom too runs about making claims that he never demonstrates
are factual.

Besides being a racist who says it takes courage to ride near people
of color, he hasn't shown any documentation of his bicycling skills he
claims.

I did believe him, however, when he bragged about riding to the
grocery store. I believed him enough to buy a basket that attached to
my Catrike's rack. I tried riding to the grocery a few times and
quickly realized that pedaling through suburban neighborhoods with
what few groceries I could carry was boring and stupid.

As proof of your hypocrisy, John. You claim I've given no proof of what
I've done, while simultaneously giving no proof of what you've claimed
to have done. The tricycle rider is even worse, because he's disparaged
one bit of proof as just bragging or something similar.

Tell me what you'd like me to document. But first, document what you've
done.

And the long list of I did this and I did that, he posted just a day
or so ago. Not a scrap of proof that he had ever done a thing. Well...
except, just as Tommy, "no, no,, no... I really did it. I am truly a
wonderful person!"

But, perhaps more to the point. Just as Tim does when caught in one of
his fables (see how polite I am :-) when caught short and desperate
for something to say he falls back on insults and more lies.
