Hi Terry!

	When I put up my 205CA last November, I had the same question. When I
picked up my antenna from the (then) Lincoln, Nebraska factory, I asked
about this and was told not to worry about it.  I took their word for it
and just used the "Low Phone Settings" and my results were great! SWR at
14.000 is 1.5:1  - at 14.100 it's 1.4:1 - at 14.2 it's 1.3:1 and only rises
to 1.45:1 at 14.350.  My 205CA is mounted at 91ft above very flat terrain,
on Rohn 45G.  Good luck!
