[Boatanchors] OT: antenna couplers?

[eugene at hertzmail.com]

Sorry for the OT.
 
This is a basic question about tuners/couplers. 
 
Hypothetical Premise: My antenna gives a "bad"match to my transmitter at
a given frequency (say 4:1 SWR). So I put an atenna coupler/tuner
between the transmitter and antenna. 
 
I know that if the tuner is working well and is able to match the
impedences, I will see a very good match between my transmitter and
antenna coupler, maybe as good as 1:1 or 1.1:1. I would see that by
using an SWR meter between my transmitter and the antenna coupler.
 
The question is, what would I see if I put the SWR meter between the
antenna coupler and the antenna? What would I see Would I still 4:1 SWR?
Or would it still look like 1:1?
 
Thanks for indulging (and yes, I will pull out the arrl handbook, but
its nice to chat with some folks now and then)
