No-tune antennas such as the B&W all-band no-tune folded dipole generally waste half the power fed them in the termination resistor. However, you can get a good all-band high-power memory tuner for much, much less than what I would imagine that Alpha tuner will cost, and feed an all-band antenna like a G5RV with good results.
