That's how I had it as well.

Hi all"
The internal auto tuner of a radio will not effect the SWR reading on
the tw1. The tw1 is in the chain between the tuner and the antenna, thus
making any changes the tuner makes invisible to the tw1. If the tuner
was after the meter, that is, between the meter and the antenna, then it
would show changes. If there is any kind of slight change to swr on the
meter after using the internal tuner, its due to an impedance
alteration, not a tuner change. 73 Colin, V A6BKX
