I have a htx 10 and have limited funds. I bought a lil wil and tried to do swr
but could not get lower than 1.7:1. I think I have cut the antenna too short.
Can I replace it with the same diameter stainless steel piece from a hardware
store and cut it to 36" I have left something out. After trying to adjust a
little lower in swr, my meter just kept reading 3.0. That is why I think I
cut it too short. I should have left it at 1.7!

Thanks
