All,

A few days ago, I foolishly allowed an auto-tuner attempt to match an end fed wire connected to my Pegasus.  I am the original owner of this radio and it was the third Pegasus sold by Ten Tec.

After a couple of attempts to match 80 and 160 meters, I smelled smoke and now find I only have three or four watts output.

Other than RF output, the radio performs as well as the day I received it from Ten Tec.

I believe that the RF output transistors have failed, but can't find any information on what or where to purchase them.  I have not disassembled the RF unit yet.

My manual is just a users manual and it is unlike most Ten Tec manuals which include schematics and detailed alignment instructions.

If anyone on this reflector could help me with information concerning final transistors,  I would certainly appreciate the guidance.

Thank you,

Karl - W5QJ
