I did not write the SWR statement show below, but I will agree that many
amps do not like high SWR. FWIW, I recently purchased an Elecraft KAT-500
automatic antenna tuner and from the little I have played with it, it
seems to work very nicely.

Repeat after me --

SWR is NOT an indicator of antenna performance.



But it determines whether or not my very sensitive Alpha 87A will trip off
or a solid state amp
will fold back.
