True statement, but specifically:
If the tuner is a high-pass filter, like the common T-network tuner
("ultimate transmatch"), frequencies lower than the resonant frequency of
the system (=frequency the tuner & antenna happen to be "tuned to") are
attenuated, and higher frequencies (up to a point) are passed with little
loss.
If the tuner is a low-pass filter, such as the balanced pi-network I use
at one of my "studios," frequencies higher than the resonant frequency of
the system are attenuated, and lower frequencies (again, up tho a point)
work Fine Business Old Man.
If the tuner is a band-pass filter - an example would be the link-coupled
parallel-tuned LC network popular for tuned feeders - there is attenuation
on both sides of the resonant frequency.
Brett, by the way, you were strapping into Maine last Sunday morning on
40M - could not fire up to talk to you at the time; I was working on a
friend's Ranger with said friend (Steve, KM1V ex-KS1F ex KM1V) in the
shack with me.
