Don -
Rather more likely that you need a longer counterpoise wire. The
antenna length seems fine. Try a 25' to 35' counterpoise and see if
that fixes the problem. Note that the counterpoise does not need to be
run all in the same direction - bends are acceptable.

I was using my K1 (20/40)on the back deck with a logwire thrown in the
trees about 45ft long. The counterpoise was about 4 feet. The K1 had
no trouble tunning it on 14.030. I switched to the K2 10 W internal
tuner and it did not like it. The best I could get would be about
2.95/1 on 14.030. Could there be a problem with my K2 , or are the
tuners just different and maybe I need a longer ant. I just assumed if
the K1 could, the K2 would have no problem? note: both radios had no
problem tuning the antenna on 7.025. Thanks K4YND
