Your transmitter is designed to drive a load of 50 Ohms. This corresponds to
an SWR of 1:1 if you are using 50 Ohm coax. A particular transmitte may very
well put out more power into , say, 30 Ohms than 50, but it might not be
linear, or the output transistors could overheat.

I have always heard that this is true, and that I should tune antennas
for maximum field strength and not for minimum SWR. Why wouldn't they
occur at the same time?
