Well most tuner/antenna matcher are designed to take the impedance that
the
antenna cable presents and transformer it to 50 ohms. Your problem is the
Sangean is probably not 50 ohms.

Ah, but in reverse? I don't know if this is good thinking, but if the coax
IS 50 ohms, could I not put the 50 ohm connection onto the coax and tweak the
other end (on the input instead of the coax) impedance by watching the signal
strength meter on the receiver?

(Might be undeed according to posts people made earlier that suggest that
losses here might matter less than what happens on the longwire end of the
coax).
