I thank you for all the info although I am clumsy and not technical at all and would probably f up anything I try that is explained to me LOL and hence the reason for asking here. I know I am not saying everything correctly and many techs are nit picking the way I am saying things. Thats why I was just looking for a short answer of where it goes for adjusting the SWR, in my terms. I do believe I saw that video before years ago when I was searching about it, didn't really catch on as again I am not that into that stuff. Just looking for quick easy answers. I have a SWR meter and just want to know where it goes with an amp in line. I read from the biulder that he said lower than 1.5 SWR into the amp, so thats why I asked if it goes just at the radio input side of the amp. I run a galaxy dx979 with it doing around 25ish peak right now. My last amp was an old TS 500DX non variable and lasted 17 years before I had to sell it, and half that time I didin't even know what SWR was LOL. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated.
