You are telling us that you have evaluated the loss of a MFJ-989C
antenna tuner + open wire line vs coax by on air A/B tests using the
S-meter as your indicator.

You can do a pretty good evaluation of a tuner's loss by putting your hand
on the cabinet after running a few minutes. Just imagine a 25, 50 or
whatever watt resistor in there dissipating the same heat.

One needs to calibrate one's hand, of course. :-)
