I did not know that this is a common problem. You are right, in this case I
feel lucky ; )

Good deal Richard. If your tuner will tune your vertical everywhere except
the very top of 10 meters, put a big smile on your face and enjoy the bands.
The inability of a tuner to tune a particular antenna on a particular
part of a band is a very common problem. Guys spend hours tweaking
and adjusting, changing feedline lengths and other stuff just to get a
match on 20 or 40 or whatever. If this is your biggest problem in this
whole process, count yourself lucky.
Despite their convenience, auto tuners generally don't have the matching
range of a good quality manual tuner. Sometimes you just have to live with
it.
