Jim,

That table could be very misleading without a lot more info.

For example, is it showing the total loss, or the "excess SWR loss"?  
What type of cable is it for? And what length? At what frequency?

If you believe the text, it's how the SWR "affects the power output of 
your radio" ! Pretty good radio that's still putting out 33% of its 
power into a 10:1 SWR load :)

73,
