Hi list.
I know the R7 isn't designed to work on 75 meters, but with my TS-50 and autotuner I can get an SWR of 1.4 to 1, and reflected power of 4.4.
With the manual tuner I can get the SWR down to 1.0 to 1.
I know I won't get out as well as if the antenna was designed for 75 meters.
What I want to ask is, can I use 75 and not hurt the antenna, or radio?
Also would it hurt to run power through the r7 on 75?
Thanks in advance for any help, and 7 3.
