So I am the worst tech ever and don't understand what you are actually asking
but I have a beacon (htx100) that has run 24/7 for the last 6 months and I hVe
not gotten that technical into it.... Ground it and let her go.... That's all I
can tell you.

Toward the end of October I plan to set up a ten meter beacon at my QTH on
Cayman Brac and leave it running.
My question is:
What is the EASIEST way to protect the rig (HTX-100) if something goes wrong
with the antenna and the SWR goes high? Haven't tried to figure out what the
worst case SWR would be with a dummy load in parallel in the house and the
coax either open or shorted at the antenna. I'm not worried about power
going into a dummy load. The antenna will be a quarter wave vertical within
ten feet of the salt water and it will be plenty loud. Would rather activate
a coax relay and send all the power to the dummy load if the SWR went high
but not sure what the least expensive solution is to do that?
Thanks... Stan, K5GO
