[TenTec] Help Century 22 fault

[K5BDZ@aol.com]

Bill
I've had numerous Century 22 units and loved them all. Don't recall your 
particular problem, but I'd suggest the following:

1.  Call Ten Tec techs and ask them.  Normally, they're the BEST at telephone 
diagnosing Ten Tec problems and giving you the RIGHT answer!

2.  Just guessing (if TenTec techs not available) I'd guess from your short 
synopsis and problem description is that you have a problem with SWR and lack 
of EFFECTIVE grounding between your rig and the tuner and possibly ground.  
I'll bet that each time you tune the tuner and the SWR goes high, the rig 
either starts shutting down or starts "motor-boating" indicating ineffective 
ground to the Century 22, and reflected power getting into the rig circuitry 
causing squirrels.

So much for my limited info diagnosis.  If you get no effective help, let us 
know in more detail and we'll try again.  When you identify the problem and 
then find the solution, please let us all know for our notes and future etc.
