Are tube amps like the KLV1000 affected by higher SWRs lets say 1.4:1 to 1.8:1 range or will they handle SWRs in that range. I know on my transister amp the manual says to keep my SWRs below 1.3:1 to use the amp.
In general, tube amps are much less sensitive to higher SWR conditions than transistor amps are. I don't know that amp specifically, but I would say that anything under 2:1 isn't something to be concerned about.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
