Used that way, the G5RV is identical to the common multi-band doublet used
since the 1920's. It's efficient if:
1) An efficient tuner is used capable of matching the rig to the antenna,
and
2) No coax or other lossy feed line is used between the tuner and the
radiator.
Bottom line is that the practice of putting the tuner at the rig, and
running coax between the tuner and the radiator with perhaps a balun or unun
thrown in significantly increases the losses.
Agree absolutely
