Even though I have resonant vertical dipoles, I have found the tuner gives more flexibility in tuning. We had a snow storm this week that dumped almost two feet of snow over a two day period. The antenna tuning changed quite a bit while the feed point and antenna ends and other parts such as where the antenna elements pass through my deck were covered with snow but the tuner handled these changes without a problem and I continued to make contacts as usual. I do have a short feedline so added loss from swr is not an issue. I have limited space and a hoa issue; I have permission for the antenna provided that it's unobtrusive.
