i thought ocfd usually resonate at the low end of 80 meters about 3500 ish...so as to have the higher bands usable .    and needs a good tuner...

mine is about 5 to1 at 3900

If the built-in ATU is "On", the radio will show different SWR than the 
external SWR meter.

Look up triad electronic supply in Winston Salem. I don’t see a web page anymore, but 
on google, there’s still a telephone number. You want to talk to Mike, N4VE.
He has a tech (Keith) who did repair work on my Titan 3 several times, and 
always fixed it lickety-split.
I had a blown fuse issue with mine several yrs, ago. What worked for me was 
ordering a 220 surge protector and inserting that between the 220 outlet and 
the amp. Mine is an ICE model number 338.

Does anyone know anyone who repairs Titan amps?

I’ve got a Titan III that suddenly started blowing fuses.

I tried what little diagnostics I could (checked transformer resistance, separated 
sections, checked diode stack) with no joy.  I sent it to a generic amateur radio 
repair tech who came highly recommended on discussion forums (not this one).  He had 
it several months, said he sent the tubes and transformer for testing, rebuilt part of 
the power supply, and finally gave up.

Any tips for a Titan repair source appreciated.

73,
Bernie
