OK....I know that you can use the FWD and REF power levels to figure out the 
SWR.....

Only problem....with all the SWR meters available, I have forgotten how....

Now find myself without an SWR meter for VHF/UHF, but do have a power meter 
that reads both forward and reflected power....

How do I figure the SWR?
