[TenTec] Triton IV shutting down TT 262G Power Supply

[Phil Chambley Sr.]

If it isn't doing it on any other band, I'd say he has either a loose 
connection in the 10m LPF circuit or a bandswitch contact burned on that 
band.

If it does it on other bands, there are other possibilities, e.g. ALC 
diodes.
