The unit after the tuner may be subject to very high SWR unless your antennas are all have fairly low SWR. A severe mismatch could cause voltage or current sufficient to damage the second unit.

But like they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

I use two, and its probably overkill.

I use one before the linear, and then I use one that comes after the antenna
tuner (and linear).  I'd guess I get very little additional bang for the
buck that way, but it is also true that I have never caused any TVI.
