Yes. Adjusting the load control on the amp effectively tunes the tank of
the amp to somewhat match the impedance seen on the transmission line.
However, in terms of an SWR meter and a 50 Ohm system, this changing the
load doesn't do a thing. SWR meters measure power reflected AFTER them.
So unless you have something after the SWR meter to adjust the tuning it
should stay fixed for a given frequency.
