[TenTec] Out of ham band modification

[joel hallas]

Thanks Vic, yes Harry Vic has covered it nicely. The only problem with 
this arrangement is that in memory tune mode the RIT doesn't work. You 
need to pop out of MT and use the RIT, or manual tuning, just make sure 
you don't move much so you keep in the channel.

The filters seem fine, although I haven't confirmed that they meet spec 
yet, probably to ARRL Lab next week. I can get a full 100 W+ out, but 
you need to throttle back to equivilant of 50 W to a dipole to meet 
regs. My G5RV and transmission line loss means I put 80 W at the bottom 
and get the allowed output at the top. I have printed EZNEC and TLW 
output to back that up in case the FCC wants to see it some day.

GL and 73, Joel, W1ZR
