Can you explain this? I thought matching the antenna would *exactly* make
the return loss go away because it would eliminate the mismatch.


Not wanting to put words in his mouth....
I read that to mean that the high SWR between the ATU and the antenna would
remain, but the transmitter would be happy with the SWR on the
transmitter/ATU coax.
