[TenTec] [(TenTec) help with Centurion Amp]

[Donald, K6RV]

I have a Centurion and it works fine on 17m - full output.  Set 
bandswitch to 15m and, in my case, with my antenna, I set Load to 9.7 
and Tune to 2.0.  For 12m. I set bandswitch to 10m. and Load to 6.7 and 
Tune to 1.8.

The Titan is obviously different if Jim set his bandswitch in the 20m position for 17m and 15m position for 12m.

My three Titan 425s work on 17M in the 20M position of the 
bandswitch (and on 12M in the 15M position). In both cases it puts 
out full power, and tuning is at the low extremes of the two 
capacitors. The Titan 425 was designed around 1980 when ham 
allocations on those bands didn't yet exist, but were being 
proposed).
