That old nonsense again?

SWR isn't directional. Of course impendence matters, unless you don't
care how much signal you lose between the source and load.


Ah yes, that old nonsense again,

Yes, it is true that you will not damage a receiver with impedance
mismatch, but you will have less signal. Signal budget, system budget,
call it what you may.

And the beat goes on . . . . .
