A 1:1 SWR is ideal — but how concerned should we really be about 1.5:1, 2:1, or even higher SWR?<br><br>I’d be interested to hear what SWR you normally consider acceptable in your own antenna system.<br><br>And if there’s a part of standing waves or SWR you’d like me to explore in a future video, leave your question below.<br><br>Thanks for watching Telecom Training! 73!

I've already done the tests on the reflected voltage. So I know what happens first hand.

it can't be that's there's no reflection.<br>I'd like you to actually show me that not on picture but with actual equipment.<br>it can only be achieved with a DC voltage. But we all know that radio waves never come in DC voltage it’s always alternating. <br>So your picture <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHG-jErOlso&t=440">7:20</a> is misleading.
