I have found with my G5RV that I still need to 'tune' so that my
transceiver doesn't throttle back in power due to approx. 3:1 SWR on
40/80/20 (and maybe 12). I can also tune 15, 17 and 10. However, as
mentioned elsewhere, it is only good on 80/40/20/12. The SWR on 10
without a tuner is very high and 10 with a tuner is still unusable
(also G5RV is ng for 17m).
