The actual SWR on a lossless line doesn't change. Yet, in another

could both results possibly be right?


You need to keep thinking about that. What if they are both right?


Here's the example sans the Bird. Between the tuner output
and the load, where exactly is the actual SWR = 1:1 and where
exactly is the actual SWR = 2.25:1? Answer: nowhere!

XMTR--tuner---1 WL 75 ohm coax---50 ohm load
