Tuners DO NOT tune the antenna through the feed line. A tuner AT the
antenna sometimes can affect an antenna resonance. Tuners adjust the
antenna impedance as seen through the feed line to something the
transmitter finds more acceptable. Nothing more. Something that is often
required by solid state finals such as those in Tentec radios.
