Gerry,

The load is the antenna - about which the SWR meter knows absolutely
nothing. All the the meter has to work with is the input impedance of
the tuner or the transmission line.

Line input Z = R+jX and to aggravate matters the meter discards all
information about X.

The load that counts is what the transmitter sees. Which is what his
instrument measures.

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

I fully agree the transmitter load is what the transmitter sees.

But his meter does not measure it.

His meter simply tells him whether or not its resistance is 50 ohms.

Which is all he wants to know anyway.

Jerry has a slotted line - described here in loving detail some time
ago. It and the meter so attached is perfectly capable of measuring
all the factors stated.

which is an assumption (or a forced argument, take your pick) as he
has already reconciled any mis-understandings.
