[TenTec] My BIG Jupiter Problem (Update)

[WmLB@prefer.net]

I was going to wait until the rig came back from 
Ten-Tec, but given Brian's post earlier today, I 
thought maybe I should let you know what has 
transpired.

Paul Quentin at TT did advise me on Friday that they 
had replaced the FINALS and were doing some testing 
to insure that everything else was per specs. No 
surprise I guess, since more then one of you pointed 
out that the finals are pretty much the only things 
tied to the heat sink. Obviously my biggest concern 
was why it happened .. especially since I was not 
transmitting at the time and when I had been 
earlier, it was at my normal 35 watts or so for 
PSK31

I told Brian in a email earlier this afternoon, that 
there is just too many very happy Jupiter owners out 
here and that I would think that our experience was 
an "exception".. I certainly hope that is the case.
