I had a beta version here for test during a RTTY contest with orders to 
run it with all the lights lit. It occasionally saw SWR on the order of 
2:1 and faulted. I simply dropped the drive a dB or so and it purred 
along nicely.

That was my major complaint with the LDG 1000 tuner that I had bought 
new, and is why I quickly sold it.
