The VNA does not measure the VSWR on the line. It measures VSWR at the
input to the VNA unless you do a cal at the load end of the line to remove it's
effect.

between tuner and 75 ohm load the SWR was 1.8:1. With the 10 foot cable SWR was 1.46:1.
With the 10 foot and 4 foot cable the SWR was 1.4:1"

In the above experiment, on what line section is the SWR being sampled to yield these results? Before or after the tuner? Also, do all line sections have a Zo = 50?
