[TenTec] Operating Tentec 540/544 near big amps

[James Duffer]

Hi Allan,

Bought my TenTec 544 new back around 77 or 78.  I have used it with a 
Dentron MLA 2500 with no difficulty.  The telephone didn't fare as well!

The 544 was my main rig until the late 80s when I decided to get something 
that had the WARC bands.  Still have the 544, it has been to TenTec twice.  
Once to repair a probolem when the "pass" transistor of the associated power 
supply shorted placing excessive voltage in the rig, and later for a PTO 
rebuild.  Sure liked that rig.

73, Jim, wd4air
