Default What effect does a tuner have at the antenna?

As the tuner is used to match the impedance of the radio to the line it
will effect the power getting to the antenna or the signal received from
the antenna if it is passed through the tuner.

If the power getting to the antenna is measurable, then
the tuner is causing something to happen at the antenna.
It is doing more than just making the transmitter happy.
After all, a dummy load makes the transmitter just as
happy as a tuner.
