[TenTec] Ten Tec and Butternut HF6V Problem And Question

[Duane A Calvin]

No problems at all with my Butternut HF2V, ground mounted.  It works
great on its designed bands and some others as well thru a tuner.  Full
output from my Omni VI+ and my Orion without tuner on designed-for bands,
and with tuner on other bands.

        73,  Duane
