The 253 manual shows the tuner hooked up with a Herc II for auto band switching
of both the Herc and the 253. It also shows the Titan amp hookup as well as a
generic hookup for "other amps".
So in summary the Omni V will band-switch the tuner BUT, unlike the
broad-banded Herc II, you'll need to turn the bandswitch and tune the 422.
The 253 manual is on the T-T site:
http://www.tentec.com/pages/Obsolete-Manual-Downloads.html
Unlike modern tuners, it remembers only one frequency per band. BUT it is a
great tuner. I have replaced mine with a 229A manual tuner since installing my
SteppIR. I use the 229 on 80 and 40 and the 253 is currently surplus to my
needs.
Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if the Ten Tec 253 Auto Antenna Tuner
designed fo ruse at 2 KW with an Omni V and Hercules Ampo
will work also with the CENTAUR model 422? I was thinking about adding this
plus a 422 to my OMNI VI Plus station and
wante dto make
sure that they will all work together. Many thanks for any insights! Brian AF4K
