I have a 2m / 440 8.5 foot tall vertical colinear antenna. If you had to choose: - 40 feet high, in an oak tree, surrounded by branches and leaves, using RG8x (mini), this will require a 60 foot run of feedline OR - 20-25 feet high, on an asphalt single roof, using either RG-214 (basically...

it's like there is just not enough adjustment on the preselctor tune, I have to go all the way to the 12-30 Preselector band and all the way counter clockwise on the Preselector just to tune around 25Mhz.. there is no more adjustment for 11m or 10m any ideas on this?

the good new is the radio I amreceive above 25MHz... the bad news is it is dead... I tested the radio at 1.9Mhz by placing the MFJ-259b (with a 4" piece of copper wire) near it and tuning it to match the MFJ, got around s9 + 10 then again same result at 3.9Mhz a little less on 7.2Mhz even...
