Per the manual, the antenna is supposed to be an end-fed inverted-L of 100ft total length.? 100ft is just 30.48 meters.? About 3/4 wavelength on 40m band.? That should present a fairly high impedance compared to a properly tuned 1/4 vertical with groundplane.? Perhaps the tuneup procedure in the manual is incorrect for that kind of antenna?
