In going back to the broadcast days, we always put the tuner AT the antenna and
had a "flat" line for the antenna to the transmitter. Works better than a line
full
of VSWR in the shack.
In my view, internal tuners are to be avoided. No exceptions.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Jupiter Autotuner upgrade?
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...
