I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why would a transmitter have additional adjustments?
All the background I'm provided with is that "When a transmission line is used in between the antenna and the transmitter (or receiver) one generally would like an antenna system whose impedance is resistive and near the characteristic impedance of that transmission line in order to minimize the standing wave ratio (SWR) and the increase in transmission line losses it entails, in addition to supplying a good match at the transmitter or receiver itself.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
