I find that it depends upon the antenna you're using whether the internal tuner
really makes a difference when tuning for receive. For example, my g5rv doesn't
show a lot of difference in most places but some of the long wire antennas I've
played with show a 7-8 dB difference when tuned. Besides, tuning the receive
antenna cuts down on noise problems and makes beacon hunting easier as it allows
for better differentiation with directional and semi directional antennas.
