== If the SWR reading is high == SWR measures the antenna match. It does not measure audio quality or how far a station can be heard. # Confirm the frequency and antenna length belong to the same setup. # Check whether you are looking at a local estimate or a selected running session. # Adjust the antenna length and watch the estimate. A length of zero is a nominal template, not a guarantee of a good match. # Recheck after moving to another frequency. Do not compensate for a badly detuned antenna only by increasing power. Around 1 to 2 is a useful practical match. The transmitter reduces power above the protection threshold described below. [[Antenna System]] gives the tuning workflow.
