The exact setup I've got, also at 30 feet.

What is a "well designed truly balanced antenna tuner?" From what > I've read, there aren't many.

Johnson Matchbox, kW or 275 watt version, not "perfection" but certainly very good -- and readily available at a fairly modest price.

Just my 2 cents...

Sorry, forgot to mention it earlier...

Not to say my Johnson kW matchbox is the "best ever"; however, it works flawlessly with my FT1000MP and 135 foot ladder line fed dipole on ALL (including WARC) bands. Worst case is 2.1:1 on 30 meters, all other bands 1:1.
