I tend to make my SWR readings right at the antenna, whenever possible.
That length of coax to the xceiver will only make it look better in
most cases.

Mike,

With the 4170 I can calibrate the instrument to compensate for the
feeder impedance. After calibration, the indicated impedance at the TX
end of the feeder is actually the antenna feedpoint impedance. This
makes life a *lot* easier.
