C'mon guys . . .  How many SRWs can you have????  The answer is ONE!!  There is one . . and only one Standing Wave Ratio.

  Guys think about what you are saying SWR 8:1 !!   So what does the tuner
  do?  , tune the antenna ?  or Presents a match for the radio to operate ?
  If you tune an antenna and have an SWR of 8:1  how much do you think
  radiates ?

  The bottom line here is that just because you have a tuner does not mean you
  have efficiency.
  Any good tuner will tune that windom,  but with SWRs over 3.5:1  your not
  doing much to get a signal out.
