[TenTec] #422B Centurion Linear Amp......ARCING problem

[mcelmer1]

To all reading this: Ten Tec is the only amateur radio manufacturer I am 
aware of that has a live body answering the phone. Furthermore, you speak to 
a highly competent staff member either in sales or repair.

I have called the "competition" on the west coast (starts with a Y) and what 
a cluster (fill in the rest).

I can't comment on the folks at Flex or Elecraft.
