hi ten tec gurus! hope all is well - quick question - i forgot that my radio 
(Ten Tec paragon)was tuned to 17 meters and for a split second talked into the 
mic at full power (100 w)on 20 meters - the swr went to about 5 or 6:1 for a 
click of a mic second or two - this is the second time i did this (stupidity) - 
wondering if this can do damage? - obviously its not good. the radio seems to 
be fine and didn't seem to have any problems with this short burst - but just 
wondering if this short duration high swr could do damage? by the way how high 
an swr is acceptable - just wondering? thx, john
