[amsat-bb] Measuring VSWR at 2.4GHz

[David G0MRF]

Hi everyone.


Does anyone know a cost effective way of measuring VSWR or reflected power at 2.4GHz ?



I'm building a 70cm to S band upconverter with 25 Watts output.
Before I connect it to my dish feed, it would be nice to know that the match is reasonably close to 50 ohms.
It would be nice for the PA transistor to last more than 1 QSO



2.4G inserts for bird watt meters are few and far between.....I wonder if the one that covers 400M to 1GHz would work.?
