This happened on 15 meters...but I noticed it was tuning weird on 20
meters as well. Since this was the last series to be built...I would
have assumed it has the latest updates. Maybe not....

I lost the RF Choke on my Titan 425 shortly after I purchased it April
1990. It is an early export model. Ten-Tec sent me a replacement choke
which I installed. Unfortunately one of the tubes was damaged,
necessitating a return to Ten-Tec. They replaced both tubes and put in
"upgrades" to the then current production specs under warranty. As I
understand it, early 425 RF Chokes did have a problem with parasitic
currents.... mine failed the first time I attempted to tune it up on 15
Meters after working for weeks on 20 CW. No problems since.
