Someone sed:

"...the meter can show a low value if the antenna is ok, but the transmitter
will see a high SWR and may burn out the finals."

================

It's funny that this old wive's tale about the high SWR "burning out the
finals" still exists. I guess it depends on what the meaning of "high" is.
