Fellow Ten Tec People:
Perhaps someone has had a similar problem (and found a solution).
Mic gain is very sensitive and, if slightly above 8 o'clock , causes the
transmitter to go into slow oscillation.
And, using an MFJ antenna tuner, it is impossible to get anywhere near a
rational SWR on 20 meters. The antenna being a Buddipole set-up for 20
and regularly used with a 706 mk IIG or an FT897D with neither having
any trouble going below an SWR of 1.2.
An adequate ground was provided. The Budddipole is at a nominal 12 feet
above a deck which is about 400 feet above and looks out at the Pacific
Ocean.
I welcome any questions, experiences, thoughts, ideas, solutions are
absolutely.
