I believe the SWR meter in the transceiver is at the input of
the internal tuner, not the output. Since it always reads
close to 1:1 when the tuner is engaged you may not notice if
the antenna has a high SWR.
On the assumption that the K4 antenna tuner has similar
capabilities to the one in the K3/K3S, it can tune anything. An
antenna lying on the ground is child's play for these tuners.
Tom said that he hooked up his spiffy new K4 and tuned the
antenna. No wonder he didn't see a bad SWR. :-)
