My HyGain AV-640 vertical antenna was damaged in a recent winter storm
and will need to come down for repairs once the good weather is here to
stay and I can get around to it. In the mean time I would still like to
use it. The only band that really shows a significant problem is
40-meters. The tuner in my KX3 used to give me a nice 1:1 SWR at 7.05
MHZ. Now the best match it will give there is about 1.6:1. In the "old
days" we were happy with anything under 2:1 but can new rigs like my KX3
tolerate this poorer match? I only run 5-watts CW. Let me say "thank
you" in advance for any advice anyone might have.
