Hmmm...my experience is different. With a reasonably quiet receiver my
experience has been that a tuner brings both ambient noise and the
desired signal up equally in strength. Since background noise is
usually greater than the receiver noise level, a tuner functions more
like a volume control.

When I was using some inverted vee antennas I found a tuner to be quite helpful
in bringing a station up to a reasonable level at times.

Most times I used a Drake MN-75 matching network.
