Hash: SHA1 "Cecil" =3D=3D Cecil Moore writes: Jack My question is: what is an acceptable SWR range? I am using a Jack Kenwood TS-520 and an MFJ Versa Tuner II. Cecil Your transceiver manual should specify a maximum SWR. For my Cecil IC-706, it is 3:1. I consider anything below 2:1 to be Cecil perfectly safe. That's about 11% reflected power. Most modern Cecil transceivers are equipped with foldback circuitry to protect Cecil the finals. I don't have my manual at work, but the following URL http://www.qsl.net/sm7vhs/radio/kenwood/ts520/specs.htm doesn't show any kind of maximum SWR. This transceiver isn't "modern" by any stretch of the imagination -- I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the radio is older than I am.
