ANTENNA SWR
Each antenna is tuned for a specified frequency
range and SWR
may be increased out-of-range.
When the SWR is higher than approx. 2.0:1, the
transceiver's power drops to protect the final FETs.
In this case, an optional antenna tuner is useful to
match
the transceiver and antenna.
Low SWR
allows full power for transmitting even when using
the antenna tuner. The IC-706 has an SWR meter to
monitor the antenna SWR continuously.
