Default How to use a simple SWR meter and what it means to your VHF

One exception, in this case we are talking about an antenna tuner with
its output going to a coax line that then goes to the antenna. The
antenna being something near 50 ohms but far enough from it to produce
a 3:1 SWR on its feed line.

So in this case we have 2 transmission lines. One between the
transmitter and the tuner and one between the tuner and the antenna.

Actually, in the "Marine Radio" context anything that connects to
the High Impedance side of the tuner is considered not Feedline
but part of the antenna. OK, if just call that part "Transmission Line"
rather than a second feedline? this will allow discussee's to
differentate between the two pieces of the reference system, and
not get them confused while making their points.....
