DB, you can enter the following data elements:
end 1, wire #,
% from E1,
end 2, wire #
% from E2
Length,
ZO,
VF,
Rev/Norm,
Loss in db/100',
Loss Frequency
DB, I'll present the following as though you don't know how the transmission line feature works, just in case.
There are 10 data cells in this feature left to right. If you look at the earlier drawing of the Antenna View, maybe you can see the wires with their wire#'s I used. In the M103 model, I put wire 10 at 0%, in the first two data cells. I put wire 5 at 0%, in the second two data cells. You should be able to figure out the others...they are intuitive. I also put "Actual dist" in the cell for Length, (length of feed line, you can also enter a physical length in the cell like 50'. I typically leave the last two cells to default, they will pop up automatically on saving the data entered to the Transmission line feature when I hit my enter key.
I hope this is not too confusing...just in case you want to play with the idea, and see if you can get it to work. BTW, with the cells entitled %, you can enter whole numbers, and maybe you can even use decimal fractions like 10.5% too, not sure though. The most important thing is you have to have a wire assigned (like a mast in this case) for the Transmission Line feature to work, or else the feature will not work. You will see a little red square box appear along the wire somewhere, but the feed line added is virtually not a part of the mast, as in this case.
I haven't figured out how to post a picture that is nice and legible yet, but here is a fuzzy picture of what the screen view for the Transmission Lines feature looks like. It is the long rectangle box at the bottom of the two boxes in front of my 70 lb. Rojo's image on my Desktop.
