The SWR is for transmitting. As mentioned in an earlier post you tune the SWR with the radio on channel 20 which is mid band. You will have a variation on each end. How much I guess depends on how close you can get it to 1:1 on channel 20.

Having two antennas make it a bit more tricky too.

The tuning of the antenna(s) will not affect reception. In most cases you can get reception with just a piece of wire. So the fact that you cannot hear him beyond a mile is because of something else (i.e.; interference, his rig, etc.).
