Default AH4 tuner in the middle of an offset fed dipole

Is it possible to get some fairly brief opinions without causing a war or

Is it likely to damage an Icom AH4 auto antenna tuner if the "antenna"
terminal is attached to one leg of a V (resonant at 14Mhz) and the earth
terminal is connected to the other leg of the V (resonant at 7Mhz) without
any additional grounding. Is there any reason to swap the legs around.
Assume 100 watts max. It would be helpful if any opinions came from those
who are familiar with the internals of the AH4. It would also be helpful if
any repondents understood that others could have a differing opinion. de
VK2DQC, Allan. tnx


Is it a 48 ft. dipole off-center-fed 16 ft. from the end?
If so, what do you seek to gain by off-center-feeding it?
