I have an IMAX 2000 with a standing wave of 1.3 on 10 meters and with my
LDG antenna tuner I can tune all the way up to 20 meters.  The SWR  is
pretty high on 20 meters but the LDG AT 1000 tunes it OK.

an 11 meter vertical shouldn't be anywhere near that high an SWR on 10
meters unless something's wrong with it, it might be close to 2.0 in the
lower portion of the band but depending on what it is, I've seen the old
antron99's and the like, solarcom A99, Imax2000, all the same antenna
there's another one too, carry a good SWR from the bottom of 12 meters
all the way to about 29 MHz before it went to 2.0 and an internal tuner
brought it down fine, same with the maco V58 and various others so I'd be
more inclined to think you have an antenna problem if the SWR's that
high.
