Default yaesu FT-817ND without antenna tuner?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi, I'm a new ham, and I'm looking for my first HF transceiver. I am
considering the Yaesu FT-817ND. I did some google searches and could not
find any information about using an antenna tuner with this rig. How can
it work on all bands without a tuner? Would I need a tuner or does the
supplied antenna work on all bands without a tuner? I browsed the
owner's manual on Yaesu's web site as well and didn't see any mention
about using a tuner. The link to yaesu's page is

I read some reviews on eHam too, and it almost sounds like the FT-817ND
doesn't need a tuner.. I'm confused.
Any opinions would be helpful.

Thanks!
Jim
