Garland Jenkins in the service department at Ten Tec could answer that
question, but he retired a couple of years ago.
Using a nonresonant antenna and a power supply without a foldback
circuit could cause this problem. Are you using a Ten Tec power supply?
There are more knowledgeable people than me on this reflector who can
give better answers.
