Is that VSWR of 65:1 key-down transmit at 1,700 watts, without any pulsing?  So 
if I accidentally transmit normal hand-sent slow CW into a bad antenna 
mismatch, no damage will occur?

I've gotten really suspicious of those high SWR claims for solid-state power 
devices because they are always qualified heavily by duty cycle.

Well Cathy, my homebrew 144MHz LDMOS amp survived doing this to the output relay (See: http://www.frenning.dk/OZ1PIF_HOMEPAGE/LDMOS_SSPA.html (Towards the end of the article))
