[TenTec] better parts

[Charles Harpole]

I, too, have replaced simple parts (after failures of T T replacements/repairs)

 on my Ten Tec gear with my own higher quality ones and

had no failures afterwards.

> About 10 months ago, the capacitors on the A9 Power Distribution board failed, and I sent the radio back to the factory to get it fixed. Well, just 10 months later, the same thing happened again. This time, I decided to fix it myself with premium capacitors purchased through Mouser. The fix worked! The 470 uf, 16 Volt, 85 degree C caps, C6, C7 and C9 were replaced with ultra-low ESR 50 Volt, 105 degree C units that fit perfectly in the board.
