So if I understand things correctly, if you have an external automatic tuner, the SWR meter will go between the tuner and the transceiver. If you also have a transceiver that has a built in SWR meter, with the tuner, is there any need to measure the SWR on the other side of the tuner (meaning between the tuner and the antenna)? I would think it might be of interest to see what the SWR really is so you know what your loss might be and what the reflected power is even though the tuner is compensating for it.
Can anyone give their opinion on this as I have a possibility of getting a Kenwood 440SAT receiver that has the auto tuner and SWR meter built in, but just curios if I should also be paying attention to what the true SWR is between the tuner and Antenna.
Thanks,
