[TenTec] 238 Tuner settings

[John Unger]

Pucks comment caught my eye. I've been using a 238 tuner for about 3 years
now, and one of the problems/headaches that I've had with it is calibrating
or matching the rotary inductor readings on the linear indicator with the
readings on the rotary dial. On my tuner I can't seem to have the "0" on
the dial match the divisions on the linear indicator consistently over the
range of the inductor. Do others have this problem with their 238's?

tnx es 73 - John, W4AU
