What it will do is allow the transmitter to run at full power output into a 
near 50 ohm load.  Then, depending upon the efficiency of the tuner, power 
will be transferred to the antenna.  The important part is that, without 
the tuner, the transmitter may roll back power.  Granted, much may be lost 
in the tuner, but you are on the air.  It will appear that the antenna 
condition has been changed.
