If you measure the SWR at point 1, you let Z1 (Zload) be 50 ohms,
and Zo is the output impedance of the PA. SWR meter1 should be
characterized to Zo.
snip
Reflection Coefficient looking into load = (Zl-Zo)/(Zl+Zo)

It should be easy to see from this well known equation that a
perfect 50 Ohm Zl will definitely change SWR as you change Zo away
from 50 ohms.

Looking at a book. Has the same equation, only thing is that Zo is the
impedance of the *coax*.

Dang it, Tam, you just had to tell him! I was just having a good laugh when
you
had to go and spoil it.
