[TenTec] Model 238 Tuner?

[dacalvin@us.ibm.com]

I'm considering the purchase of the 238 tuner.  I have an Omni VI+ and a
Centurion amp.  While the amp does an excellent job of matching the variety
of loads I present it with, I'd like to do a better job of matching the
load to the amp, and also to allow barefoot full-power use in addition.
I'm sure there are lots of them in use - what do the owners think?  Is this
a good tuner?  How repeatable are the settings (I read the recent thread on
this topic, but I'm not sure if it was settled that this particular tuner
had a dial string slip problem or not.)  Also, how useful is the power/SWR
meter?  I have a nice Autek WM-1 peak reading and calculating SWR meter
that I really like - does the 238's meter function work as well?

Thanks in advance.
