Hi Jimmie,

This is somewhat cryptic, you would be expected to need a tuner.

While I didnt damage my transmitter

This transcends cryptic. It's like saying that as you came to a stop
sign, you used your brakes and you didn't damage your car.

I did notice that the best
settings of the tuner for TX and RX did not coincide. I was wondering
if anyone else has observed this .

Two different circuits inside, hence two different loads. Two
different loads, hence two different matches. Some receive paths
might be 50 Ohms, but that value is not as essential as for
transmission.
