REPLY:

The LDG autotuner does provide a good impedance match, but the only
question is whether it provides sufficient Q to provide the "flywheel"
effect needed for SSB operation. If you are going to be operating only
CW, RTTY or FM, whatever Q it has is probably enough. 

I wish I had a more definitive answer.
