Tentec 238 antenna tuner.  2KW rated.

This is a very nice tuner, and I've owned seven of them (some 229, some 238s). BUT -- to call this a 2kW tuner you've got to be either a used car salesman or smoking some really good weed.

The caps installed by the factory DO fry with the output of my Titans (which I never drive past legal limit), and I've replaced many of them with components with better ratings.
