Lil'Yeshua,
If you do use that '207 to tune a tuner then I think I'd do what MFJ suggests, take it completely out of line when finished with that tuning! Other wise you are taking an unnecessary chance on harming it.
Something else to consider is that the reviewers were very careful in saying the '207 is an "SWR analyzer" not an antenna analyzer, they aren't the same things at all. The '207 is a 'portable'/'stand-alone' SWR meter, all it does is measure SWR at the point you are using it. It can't tell you anything about resonance, SWR has nothing to do with resonance, they are completely different things.
I can certainly see where they may come in handy in particular instances. But are sort of redundant at the transmitter/tuner end of a feed line where a 'regular' SWR meter could be used.
