An antenna current meter is pretty handy. I have a box of parts on my
desk waiting to become one. At least when it shows zero current I'll be
able to figure out pretty quickly that I forgot to connect the antenna,
hehhe..

Sorry Jim. You are indeed correct about the feedline SWR. While there
are other SWRs within the radio, they aren't of much interest.
However, these radios do report a SWR in the UI, and that is what I was
referring to. Since a naive user might look at that figure and say, "The
SWR is 2. The antenna must be good.", it is important to know that the
tuners can produce a low figure on that meter with nothing connected to
the antenna connector.
