[TenTec] Fw: Ten-Tec Model 238 Antenna Tuner

[Robert & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Just checked my 238 tuner.  With 10 watts applied, FWD/REF switch released, 
2KW/200W switch released, POWER/SWR switch depressed, SWR set control max 
clockwise, I get 1/2 scale on the meter.

Looks like it takes about 50 watts to get full scale under these conditions.
