To return this to the original subject I started with
After all the discussion, I decided to switch my tuner to bypass and see
where I was and what happened while I was on a local 10M net. The
answer is....nothing. SWR on the Jupiter display was about 2.4 and for
the hour plus I was on the net, I was able to run full power with no
shut down that I could see. My Jupiter just kept going. Late in the net
I mentioned I was running without a tuner into my G5RV and there was
some disbelief and I was asked how bad the smoke was in the shack.
I have not seen any published limits but I believe several people
mentioned SWR up to 3.0. Is there something in the manual or is this
learned from practice? I don't think I need the autotuner.
