Hi Michael,
I've worked with many technical writers in my career and I have a lot of respect for them because it's extremely difficult to write technical guides not knowing the experience of the end-user or what equipment they are using. It's difficult to post instructions, because of this. Not too mention any liability if someone happens to blow up their rig or (more likely) what can be very expensive test equipment.? One mistake can put 100w into equipment designed for micro-volts and puff there goes $1000's.. Many years ago, I blew up an HP-435b power meter (forgot to put the 60db attenuator in front of it). I learned a very valuable lesson early in my professional life.. You typically only make this mistake once.... One I will never forget..
Basic equipment setups can be found on the web. The yaesu guide is "okay" considering when it was written (in the 70's). I have more to say on this in a new thread for the s-meter alignment (coming soon).
