[TenTec] 238 Tuner Mod

[Barry N1EU]

Sounds like a great mod Ron.  Another really cool mod I saw on a 238
was replacing the tuning dial with a turns counter.  I haven't seen
that one documented though.  One of these days I might get together
with the skillful local ham who did it and document it.

Heating used to cause the SWR to 'drift', even at 100 Watts in some situations on 160.  The mod worked well, and if anyone is interested, I have all the details and pictures on my website at www.n6ie.com.
