Hi;
The key words might be "set up properly".  Supposedly the holes are all 
predrilled and you can't go wrong, no need for an analyzer etc.  I suspect 
if it sounds to good to be true it just might be.  Its the getting it set up 
properly that I'm investigating.

When you first set up the gap, you have to tune for each band.  That is, if
its not already set properly.
So, i gather from the discussions on this list and others, that the gap on
40 meters just takes a little more manual tweaking of the antenna, compared
to other bands where following the instructions when first putting it
together is good enough.
The antenna, once set up properly, does not require an antenna tuner to
function on the bands it is designed for.
