I always operate my station with TWO power/vswr meters..... First one between the transceiver output and the amplifier input, AND the second is between the amplifier output and the antenna input......
Actually my second meter is inline after the amplifier output and before the antenna tuner input......
I operate this way on all the HF bands......
It lets me know if an amplifier issue is cropping up on the input side of the amplifier .... I have found issues this way......before they became big problems.....
