 From the Heathkit book:

"It is important to note that the SA-2550 is not a "tuner".
It is a "matcher" designed specifically for use with single or multi-band 
half-wave dipoles, inverted-Vs, and 1/4 wave antennas.  It is not for use 
with 50 ohm beams, random wires, or balanced feedwire antennas."

"To use the SA-2550 to its fullest requires you to lengthen your existing 
antenna by 5 to 15%."

"Proper operation requires an external dual wattmeter or SWR bridge."

"Very rare".
