You have to tune the TUNER into the antenna, not the dummy load. The
dummy load is useful for tuning the radio (when tuned) and the linear
(when tuned). The best way to tune the tuner without transmitting is to
use a RF noise bridge or a tuner tuner or an antenna analyzer set to the
frequency of interest and to adjust the tuner for a match. Then apply
power with the radio and the match to the radio will be good.
