[Elecraft] OT a bit: K3 Ant Tuner

[Rich]

To minimize emails direct replies would be nice.  I searched the web and 
could not find an answer.   I know there are a ton of smart folks on 
this list so I thought I would ask.

On Field Day at typical setup is :

K3 (or any radio) - bandpass filter -  External Antenna Tuner  - Antenna

So the antenna was tuned via the external tuner, but saw a guy then 
using the K3 ant tuner to touch up the SWR between the radio and the 
bandpass filter.  Is that an acceptable practice?

I would think not?
