Is it so simple that I should not NEED instructions?

I have a question. Why would you even need a tuner, much less and SWR meter for a Swan? They will tune anything from 35 to 500 ohms through the PI network. Any SWR below 4 to 1 is good. I thought they were the original "plug and play" devices

Just because you can get a match doesn't mean an SWR meter isn't useful.
