The length of the counterpoise hoop controls the center frequency on
40 Meters. With mine ground mounted and about 75 feet from any
structures the SWR was near perfect with the wire length set as per
the manual.
The capacitor controls the center frequency on 75/80. A call to GAP
will tell you which cap you need for sure but mine is resonant about
where you want and I think the "green" cap is installed. I don't know
the value.
