Looks like only one guy got it right - it's not a tuner quirk, it's a
filter quirk - they have to see 50 ohms, and obviously the antenna isn't.
The impedance presented to the xcvr is no longer what it was expecting.
The Mark V is still perfect.

Put the tuner between the filter and the antenna. All of this is covered in
any ARRL handbook - another reason everyone should have one (and read it)!
