Yup, I can relate to that too. For exactly the same reason, it is a
highly compromised miniature antenna. I have the model 100 on my
truck. But I keep a manual tuner and all band dipole with feed lines
and a CCM in the RV... except most of the time the trees are too short
to be of value. :-\

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" Elwood Downey,

... is so narrow that typical S&P ops are rather challenging, 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.
