Antenna Operation The Alpha QRP Loop antenna has a built in tuning knob on the Alpha Match. It is with this black knob that you tune the antenna to the lowest SWR of 2:1 or less 10-40 meters. NOTE – It is easier to match and learn to tune the loop on 40 meters. - Page 7 a. The capacitor can turn past 360 degrees without damaging any component. 2) Now connect and power on your antenna analyzer and set your analyzer to the frequency you would like to operate. 3) Fine tune the Alpha Match with the black knob till the SWR meter on your analyzer is as low as possible.
