(RF reflections)
The reflected RF power going back to the RF generation box will be :
Power at 11MHz = 2 dBm
Power at 29.5 MHz = 3 dBm
Power at 55 MHz = 9dBm
Assuming the input power at 11 and 55 MHz are at 27 dBm (40m wiki page). And 15 dBm for 29.5 MHz.
Since there is an RF combiner in between the generation box and the resonant box, it reduces the reflections by an additional factor of 10 dB (#4517)
In the estimation above, the reduction due to the RF combiner was taken into account.
(Modulation depths)
Besides the reflection issue, the circuit meets a rough requirement of 200 mrad at 11 and 55 MHz.
For the 29.5 MHz modulation, the depth will be reduced approximately by a factor of 2, which I don't think it's a significant issue.
So the modulation depths should be okay.
Assuming the performance of the resonant circuit remains the same (#2586), the modulation depths will be :
Mod. depth at 11 MHz = 280 mrad
Mod. depth at 29.5 MHz = 4 mrad (This is about half of the current modulation depth)
Mod. depth at 55 MHz = 250 mrad

What are the reflected RF powers for those frequencies?
Is the 29.5MHz more problem than the 55MHz, considering the required modulation depth?
