[Paham] Diamond V 2000A

I am wondering if anyone on the list can assist me.

I recently bought a Diamond V 2000A, which tuning is preset for 2 and 440 but 
allows an adjustment for 6 meters.

The 6 meter tuning instructions shows a chart for shortening/lengthing one of 
the radials for 6 meters.  The chart shows the lowest freq of 52 MHz.  I 
assume by cutting the "rod" shorter will allow the antenna to tune around 50. 5 
MHz.

Has anyone run into this situation?  Is there a possibility that setting the 
antenna at 52 MHz would allow it to play at the lower part of the band without 
MEGA high SWR?  OR is it a situation the SWR would not be acceptable??

Thanks in advance and 73'
