[Elecraft] SWR safe levels question

[Bob Cunnings]

If you're looking for a documented level, here's the change note
describing the SWR power rollback feature when it was introduced (MCU
1.87 / DSP 1.69 on 5-3-08):

  * POWER ROLLBACK BASED ON REFLECTED POWER:  Power rollback begins at about
    2.5:1 at 100 W (and of course much higher SWRs are tolerated at
lower power settings).
    Recovers to original target power level after mismatch is corrected.

When making antenna tuner adjustments I adopt the usual convention for
solid state finals: keep the SWR below 2:1. In the case of the K3 that
apparently puts me well below the foldback threshold at 100 W so I'm
content. It's the SWR indication on the K3 that I care about since
that's what's driving the K3's foldback feature.
