Yes, you put them in the order I said because the SWR is telling you the
SWR, as the radio sees it, or that's what you want, so if you want to use
the tuner, you want it between the radio and the tuner so you can tell what
the radio's seeing. If you put it after the tuner, it will only show you
what the antenna's SWR is for the most part and you'll never know what the
tuner's doing so radio, TW1, tuner, antenna.
The radio has no idea the tuner's in line so you'll have to take that out of
line to use the internal tuner.
