Well,if no antenna is going to have a perfect match besides a dummy load,then how are people running these comp amp's that require an SWR of no more than 1.3?I know where your coming from,its hard to get the SWR down that low on my M103c.1.5 seems to be as good as it will get.Is my watt meter playing tricks on me or what at a higher SWR?I mean i seem to lose close to 100w on my Dosey meter from an SWR of 1.5 down to an SWR of 1.1.Is it better to run it at 1.5 and see 100w more on my meter or run it at 1.1 and see 100w less?
