Quick question about using the auxilar receive antenna jack on my Omni VI.

I notice that when using my current Antenna (Doublet through an LDG-200pro 
tuner) the received signal strength will be stronger when the antenna is tuned. 
 Would the same apply to the auxillart antenna jack?

The reason I am asking is have started to use Faros to monitor DX beacons to 
get a feel for band conditions.  This program will cycle the different bands, 
and with my setup in order to get a true representation of band conditions my 
antenna would have to be tunned when ever it switches bands.  I am thinking 
that if the aux. antenna does not need to be tunned I can string up a second 
antenna and get better results.
