I thought you were here to help people. Now it's your turn to learn.
An antenna tuner doesn't really "Tune" your antenna or any part of it!
What and antenna tuner does do is transform the impedance at the antenna feed output at the radio to a value that your transceiver can handle, in this case 50 Ohms.
The tuner has no effect on the SWR between itself and the antenna, it is the SWR between the transmitter and the tuner that is changed with the tuner controls.
In layman"s terms (for High Voltage), all a tuner does is act as a kind of adjustable impedance transformer between the radio and the antenna. It will take whatever impedance the antenna system presents and attempts to convert it back to 50 Ohms for the transceiver.
Your rig "thinks" it's seeing a 50 Ohm antenna on it's output.
If you have high loses and a poor excuse for an antenna, you will have a poor excuse for a good signal no matter how well your tuner "tricks" your radio.

that is far from being true beercan !!!!!!!! back to the books dude !!!!!!!!!! you have no idea what your talking about , getttttttttttt on out of there mudduck !!!!!!!!!
it tunes your feedline and does not fool anything , its part of the capacitance and inductance line . your better do some more reading and doing more tests son !!!
your so full of shit beer. you will always have 50 ohms , it changes the swr and the feedline capacitance . you do not no shit to argue with me in here .. go to the world wide web and you might just learn something .
Statements like this are the reason you will always be a duck. The actual facts are all modern transmitters have an output impedance of 50 Ohms. Antenna systems range in impedance of a few Ohms to several thousand Ohms. There are several ways to match them such as pruning the length of the antenna, matching the antenna with a length of transmission line called matching section, or use one of several matching systems at the antenna feed-point.
Now tell me who knows their shit.

Match is done by fixed the swr , not the impedance . The impedance should always be close to 50 ohms as long as your swr is under a 2 . Dont you talk anymore you dont no your shit at all .
The beercanman is right in how they work It only tunes feedline between radio and antenna tuner to make the radio happy and not over heat it creates losses in the tuner and the radiator still is not effective swr is still the same between antenna and tuner

Lol thats right
