Do receiver antennas need matching or not?
The difference between antennas used for receive only and antennas
used for send/receive is that in the former case you are not going to
fry the radio's insides because of the mismatch.
But I'll bet that as you change the settings on your antenna tuner you
hear the received signal go up and down-- in particular, reception
goes up as you get a better match.
