If it is a feedline length issue, you will probably need about 18 to 20 ft.
on 80m.
But as I said, I have often found that I "thought" the tuner would not match
it, then with a little more patience, found out that it actually could, if I
were just more careful with the tuning.

Joe, on lack of range on your tuner:
Try adding 10 feet of coax or ladder line to your transmission line length.
That will move the impedance bump to a different location, and perhaps allow
your present tuner to adjust for a match.
This is an old trick we often have used at Field Days, when we use random
pre-made cables to reach the rig location.
