On my system, there's a 50 ohm cable from the transceiver to
the input of the SWR meter and another 50 ohm cable from the
output of the SWR meter to the balun. Each of these cables
forces the ratio of the voltage to current in each of the
traveling waves to a value of 50 ohms. I have an in-line
Autek WM-1 and no tuner.

Cec,
You can't measure SWR on a line which is less than 1/4-wave long.
Preferably it should be as long as 1/2-wavelength to ensure the max
and min voltage points both occur on it.

Total and absolute nonsense.

Where do you come up with this stuff?
