Johnson, electrical engineer); Date: Tue Aug 19 11:33:26 2003; The TenTec PTO is spring loaded and the spring gets compressed as you move the slug into the coil going down in frequency.

[TenTec] Scout PTO question (score: 1): Author: rohre@arlut.utexas.edu (Stuart Rohre); Date: Tue Aug 19 15:53:20 2003; Probably as others have stated, the effect of tight tuning in one direction is the spring action. Maybe you have a burr on the spring. If you can get some Caig deoxit product to the interface that ma; /archives//html/TenTec/2003-08/msg00416.html (7,165 bytes)

[TenTec] Scout PTO question (score: 1): Author: wb2vuf@qsl.net (Bwana Bob); Date: Tue Aug 19 23:19:14 2003; Yes, this is normal because it uses a spring riding on a shaft to maintain tension on the coil slug. At one end of the tuning range the spring is compressed. The Scout PTO mechanism looks like a mini; /archives//html/TenTec/2003-08/msg00423.html (8,064 bytes)

I am wondering if the PTO would tune more smoothly if there was a little less spring tension. Mine seems; /archives//html/TenTec/2006-05/msg00095.html (7,281 bytes)
