    That is fascinating and thanks for posting. I am frankly surprised that a SWR of 1.5 is only a 4% loss and I can see why I have read of guys being happy with that. At what SWR when barefoot does it threaten the electronics? 2.0 %? More?
    Also a what SWR could it harm a rig with an amp?

    I have collected 5 SWR meters over the years and they all show that they red line at 3.0:1 ( Danger ) but I wouldn't allow anything over 1.5:1 and I really don't settle for that if I can help it. I want to wring every last drop of power I can out of my system!
