No, the SWR meter is useful in determining the quality of the match. I
was careful to say "SWR meter reading" to distinguish it from the SWR on
a transmission line.

===================================

An excellent description, Roy.

There's a minor omission. You omitted to say that the SWR meters is
redundant because the actual reading is disregarded. There are other
reasons of course. Only a TLI is needed.
