[TenTec] high swr for short time - can it do damage?

[OTAKEBI at aol.com]

I hope you are using a Ten Tec supply.
It sounds like you are not.
A Ten Tec supply would trip its internal breaker at that SWR.
If you are not using a Ten Tec supply I would highly suggest an inline  
Airpax breaker.
You got lucky this time but don't count an being lucky forever.
I do not think you did any damage yet.
Look up past post on the reflector regarding the proper Airpax  breaker to 
use with non Ten Tec supplies.
