  Recently I constructed a Ten-Tec 1208 6 metre transverter kit.  I ran into
  problems with the tuning of the transmit stage.   (Factory staff were there
  to offer assistance, however, they were not able to solve my particular
  problem.)  After much troubleshooting I found what I believe is a PC board
  fault.  I have written up the problem and solution on my website.

  If you are building a 1208 transverter kit you may want to consult the
  article to determine if you have a potential problem with your PCB.  After
  modifying the PCB I had a successful 6 metre QSO last evening so the
  transverter is now working quite nicely. 

  Finally, I have informed Ten-Tec of the problem.

  Season's Greetings to all!
