[TenTec] Low Pass Filter

[Gary Hoffman]

That is correct.

My antennas are all resonant, and cut right close (or adjusted right close)
to where I generally work in the band.  In addition, the impedance of my
antennas at resonance is very close to 50 ohms (measured).  Thus I never run
anything like a high swr.  Indeed, I hardly need the tuner at all....I could
easily be convinced to run without it and sometimes do so.

So, no problems for me with high voltages and the like.
