The KPA500 at the station only matches the transmitter to the
transmission line and likewise for the receiver. It does not change
the match between the antenna and transmission line, thus the SWR and
related loss from SWR remains.

The antenna is better matched to the transmission line, so more of the
on-air "ambient" noise is delivered to the RX.
