2. [TenTec] Centurion on 17 M (score: 1): Author: kf6e@mail.com; Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2010 08:01:29 -0500; I have an old Centurion amp (the beige one). It has no position for 17 meters on the band switch. Has anyone tuned one of these on 17 meters? If so, what tune and load settings should I start with? 7; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00355.html (7,612 bytes)

Frank I have the new model and it also has no band setting for 17m. It uses the 15m position. Load about 8.4 and tune about 1.6.

The uncorrected SWR of the antenna is pretty high, and the power the tuner can handle is reduced when the SWR it s; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00365.html (8,388 bytes)

They rate tuners by the range of impedances they can match, and by the power they can handle. But it's "or; /archives//html/TenTec/2010-11/msg00374.html (9,678 bytes)
