Scott:
One simple solution can be if you have this cable just for the 160m antenna
and reduce the SWR, adjust the CATV cable to something near the 50 ohms adding
the 50 ohms coax like the formula say.. but you know that, i have in use the
Heatkit SA-2060A that works for my station and also in some other portable
installations using near Legal power with antennas over the 2:1 SWR
the Nye Vyking can be a good choice also $$$
