When the so-called SWR meter is located immediately at the output the
transmitter, or inside it, as it usually is -

THE METER TELLS YOU NOTHING ABOUT THE SWR ON THE TRANSMISSION LINE TO THE
ANTENNA.

It only indicates WHETHER or NOT the load on the transmitter has a
particular value, usually a nominal 50 ohms. And nothing more.

In all other respects, SWR meters and the corresponding reflected power
meters, are a hoax, a scam, a swindle. It's time they were, or at the very
least their name, consigned to oblivion.


Call out the riot police!
