Quite simple really. Use the very minimum inductance needed to get
a usable match. I once did tests to determine the appx amount of
tuner loss when tuning properly vs improperly. When using an excess
of inductance to match, I saw tuner losses approach 20%. IE: 20w out
of 100w. When carefully tuning, using the very least inductance, this
loss could be reduced to a value nearly unreadable. . . .
Why bother, unless you're having a problem with the heat? 20% loss is
just about exactly 1 dB.
