As a side note, most antennas can handle a 100 watts without problem, however,
if you are going to run BIG POWER, it would be good to check the specs on the
antenna(s) and make sure they will not be damaged by large power input...

If the swr is over a 2 to 1, you get into danger of damaging the
output finals in the equipment, will also decrease your range.

There is always a method to decrease (tune adjust) swr...

Hi,
If I'm not able to set the SWR in the trucks that I drive will it
hurt the radio or just give me decreased range?




My problem is that I'll be moving from truck to truck so I wont have
time to set the SWR correctly. Most of our trucks have factory installed
double antenna's which I'm not too thrilled about.
