So the loading coil is like a trap, and the coax sees an
open circuit?
The idea a GDO can sort "good resonances" that make low
impedances from "bad resonances" that make high impedances
seems pretty strange to me. Can you tell me how it does
that, rather than just finding some type of resonance at
the point where it is inserted? My meter largely sits
unused. I hadn't turned it on in many years.
Is there a way to measure impedance and Q with it Vic?
