Wayne,
Thanks for the reply!?
Read over other posts here about use of auto-tuners and the Q-Line. In some cases they'll show a momentary high VSWR to your rig. The PA in QCX-QDX-QMX doesn't like too high a VSWR and could stress one or more BS-170s leading to a failure.
The "Tayloe/LED/SWR-bridge" at least will give you a fighting chance.
Welcome to the club!
