That all seems pretty reasonable though the explanation that the
"built in tuner would not accept more than a certain level of SWR" is
not a good way to express the limits of internal tuners, but it is an

Unfortunately it doesn't do very well on many bands.
The SWR is "off the scale" on many bands.
