Ron,
Sounds like a great mod. I went to your web site and you described the
capacitors as 470uF. I believe that they are actually 470pF. I plan on doing
this mod on my 229.
Tnx and 73

Subject: [TenTec] 238 Tuner Mod
I few months back, I modified my TT 238 tuner by changing out the disc
ceramic caps with surplus Soviet military doorknob caps, which dramatically
improves the power handling capability on 160 and 80 meters. Heating used to
cause the SWR to 'drift', even at 100 Watts in some situations on 160. The mod
worked well, and if anyone is interested, I have all the details and pictures
on my website at www.n6ie.com<http://www.n6ie.com/>.
