Awww gee - I thought HE made antenna tuners so one could present a 1:1 load 
to the transmitter so one could  tune up their amp into a 1:1 dummy load and 
just switch over to the tuner /antenna without having to touch the amp and 
avoid the endless tuning on air, esspcially on the DX  freq.  Some people 
however never did get the message.
