Re: protection in rig if SWR is high
By design, it is supposed to reduce output power, however...
My experience has been that at high power levels, it will blow the driver transistor.?
To help avoid an expensive repair,? reduce power to 10 watts or less for initial tuning, and monitor your SWR as you slowly increase power.
I also find using a good external auto-tuner with the correct interface cable is wise.? I use an LDG IT-100 tuner.
