some rigs are not that happy with 1:2 SWR

You have a resonant antenna with an SWR of 2:1 which is completely
inconsequential at 40 and 20 meters. There is no functional reason to do
anything to correct this; you will see no improvement in transmit or
receive from doing so. I understand the intellectual and experimenter's
challenge in achieving an SWR closer to 1:1 but your rig will work fine at
that SWR and you achieve nothing other than satisfaction of doing it.
Personally, I would spend my time and effort elsewhere where it might make
a difference.
