Stephen-

How high is high? Most modern radios can tolerate SWR up to 3:1.

On a specific band, is SWR high across the entire band? I understand
the Buddipole is fairly critical, especially on the lower HF bands. It
may need to be adjusted for the part of the band where you want to
operate.

Think I might have solved the problem I had bad station grounding and after attending to the grounding the swr came down heaps is it correct to say that the grounding of a transceiver affects swr. Stephen
