Couple of quick test gear related pictures as I'm still dead in the water here.
Worst illustration and explanation of point award goes to RSGB from the full license revision book ... doing the exam this week so having a quick scan...
I can see sooooo many things wrong there.
Shouldn't that work better if it were a feed thru termination?
Yes generally a good idea to use a through termination. The SWR is going to be shit on a T-piece though. Fine for audio. I can see the following things that are wrong with it however:
1. The T-piece is usually connected to the scope in the middle so it's the wrong T piece.
2. The T-piece indicated can't be plugged into the scope because the gender is wrong.
3. Through termination as mentioned is definitely better.
4. Don't connect the probe to the T piece, it's not a 50 ohm match to the DUT.

When I terminate RF, there are NO survivors.
