Seeing as the majority of people on here will be running their antennas directly to the radios, SWR is nearly a nil factor as there is no transmission line for it to reside on.
Yep, that was the whole point of my sentence, there is a guy who works for IC that plays with us and happily uses these radios alongside us at games.

Actually it does and it can be a dramatic change hence the warning, if you don't believe me place an antenna analyzer on the antenna when t is as designed then bend touch it etch then watch it go from say 1.5 to over 10-20 ouch.
