In an HF station, right after which component is the SWR meter inserted?

  1. AThe antenna switch
  2. BThe low-pass filter
  3. CThe last stage of RF amplification
  4. DThe antenna tuner

Correct answer: B — The low-pass filter. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

The low-pass filter belongs right before the SWR meter so the meter reads only the signal heading to the antenna, free from unwanted high-frequency noise that the filter removes. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
