I know, but almost everybody places the swr meter between the tx and coax.  
How many are willing to climb a tower to do otherwise?
I build VHF/UHF yagi's for a commercial customer.  Fortunatly, I can tune 
them while on or 1/2 wave above the ground. If I tune an antenna with the swr 
bridge at the antenna and then place the swr bridge at the other end of the 
coax, there's a difference. 1.2:1 at the antenna, 1.9:1 at the tx. No 
amplifier, No antenna tuner, no etc.. Now what do I tune to get 1.5:1 or less 
at the tx?

If you can hear bass, it's too late to be felt.
