Ouch!? A QRP antenna tuner is a good investment.? But some alternative suggestions are 1) reduce power supply from 12V to 9V (on a 12V QMX) or 2) use a cheap inline SWR bridge (e.g., ).? The bridge will significantly reduce your output power, but I've been amazed how many FT8 spots I get with the bridge inserted!? Better safe than sorry.
