Based on my experience with the built-in auto tuner on my Omni VII it will not usually outdo the external tuners, but I don't know what MFJ tuner you have... but most will be more robust than the TT tuner.

That's MY take...

I am considering adding the autotuner to my Jupiter.  My normal antenna
for now is a G5RV with plans for getting my R-7 Vertical back on the air
ASAP.  Other than making me feel better, what is gained by adding the
autotuner to the mix.  The G5RV gets quirky to tune on 80 and 40 using
my MFJ tuner. Will a G5RV be within the tuning range of the TT autotuner
with these bands and antenna?  Any experiences are appreciated.
