[Elecraft] XV144, protection against high SWR?

[Samir Popaja]

Hello,

I just wondering if the XV144 has some kind of protection against high SWR?

I have burned C44 in XV144, twice in very short period. First time when I
using
XV144 to tune input circuit of my amplifier, and second time I forgot to
switch
input relays when testing and the XV144 was without load for less the 1s, it
was enough to burn C44...
