I suppose it is possible they are doing someting like that, but usually
most VSWR meters are fairly broad in their coverage, i.e. 1.8 to 30 MHz, or
50 to 450 MHz etc. I would think that if you introduced very much in the
way of any kind of tuned circuitry, it would be pretty questionable what
you were actually measuring. Maybe a bad reading would mean your meter is
out of tune? Admittedly, there is a maximum frequency and a minimum
frequency that they work effectively at, but I think that is more a
limitation of the components that they use rather than a conscious desire
to limit the coverage of the meter.
