i was thinking to my self i don't see why this would not work great on 10 and 15. 10 being a 5/8 and 15 being a 1/2 wave. and 20 and so would load up good on it... people even load up 40 on a 102 whip with this tuner..

MY Imax 2k is dead and i was thinking of getting a Super Penetrator but i all so have a icom AH-4 i am not using..
i was thinking of removing the shorting/Matching bar off the SP and coupling the a icom AH-4 in its place..
i would be feeding the coax in to the AH-4 and running the fed to the vertical and ground of it to the ground plan..
 

It will work well on 10 thru 12. Probably good enough on 15 as it is.

I would be tempted to remove the matching device from the penetrator and just feed it with the tuner. It may or may not play on a band where the antenna is 1/2 wave. I think you're on to something.
