[TenTec] Ten-Tec 228 vs 229 Ant Tuner

[Winston]

The model 228 was a 200-watt tuner, with SWR meter and sliding coil contact, much smaller. I think you meant to say 238, which is later version of 229, as others have mentioned.
I once bought a used 4229 kit version, which didn’t work. Sent to Ten Tec repair, they said builder had wired switch backwards.

Ceramic capacitor values changed slightly from the 229. The 4229 was a kit version.... Early. Voltage baluns. Prolly stir up some angst, but I wouldn't use the balun without reworking it. Just me. Not sure of transformation value.... Others will know. Greg, KC8HXO
