[Yaesu] Why are we so SWR-phobic

[Mike Brown]

Yes Glen, I'm with you on this one. I had a 746, nice rig, but at 1.5 swr it 
cut the power to 50 watts. When they do that, it makes me wonder if the 
finals are inferior and they know that is the only way to protect them. 
Especially on the low bands, the folks that will spend a day getting the swr 
down to 1:1 crack me up. Oh well, to each their own.

73, Mike K9MI
