:blink: actually, in most cases a matching device will allow MORE power to the load,  many rigs will fold back the power delivered into a high VSWR.

 

antenna gain has absolutely nothing to do with VSWR mis-match, the only way to produce antenna gain is to "focus" the radiated power in certain directions and to prevent radiation into other directions.
