Re: [TenTec] Looking for a rig upgrade

["Denton" <denton@oregontrail.net>]

Had a relay fail on the passband filter board in my Pegasus...due to the 
coil wiring opening up for some reason.
The relay coils on each side of the filter board per band are wired in 
series...if I recall that was a known problem. An easy fix.
