[TenTec] F/S Triton IV 544 W/ Pwr Suppy

[Mike Hyder - N4NT]

In case you do not know, the original 262G power supply DID NOT HAVE any 
over-voltage protection (also called a "crowbar" circuit. This meant that a 
shorted pass transistor would feed about 25 volts into the rig, letting the 
smoke out of some components. Ten-Tec used to sell what they called an OVP 
protection circuit, a small circuit board with a zener and an SCR on it. The 
circuit board mounted inside the rear panel of the supply and connected in 
series with the +12V line output.

I have it on good authority that the VOX circuit in the 262G was not 
designed to be used in an RF environment.

I love my 544/262G station! It is great.

73, Mike N4NT
