I had the same experience with the Little Tarheel II on my
4Runner. I was running S&P on 80 meters and as I swept the band,
every time I sent my call to a new station, I was also peaking
up the antenna tuning.
There's a nice article in the latest QEX on automatically tuning
these kinds of antennas. "Using an Arduino to Automatically Tune
an MFJ-1788 Magnetic Loop Antenna and Elecraft KX3 Transceiver"

you're never tuned for that new frequency. As one that changes
bands often and quickly, it would severely hamper how I
operate. Tuning requires patience and time on the lower bands,
even a 20 KHz frequency change requires retuning.
