SWR antenna tuning. From what I read for amps the SWR should be less than 1.5 going in. I see many talk about where the SWR Meter goes and most say by the radio or after the amp or both. If I am wanting to get low SWR into the amp wouldn't I want the meter just before the amp? I usually tune antenna swr with the radios meter with amp inline and off. I have also used 2 meters one at radio and one after the off amp and adjusted each as close as I could. I have never did the right before the amp one but I am questioning if that would be the best place because I want the lowest SWR going into the amp, and obviously watching it at the radio as well. Thanks in advance.
