[TowerTalk] FW: Tuner SWR won't stay down

Figured it out and got it fixed.  It was the cap.  Not sure which one 
yet as I took them both out and replaced them with a couple caps from a 
homebrew tuner I had.  Loaded 500 watts into it and was steady for about 
30 seconds or so.  Before after about 5 seconds the SWR would start to 
climb.

One thing I did notice when I took the caps out was that one of them 
turned a whole lot easier than the other one did.  I'm thinking maybe 
that set screw at the end of the cap may need tightening. There's a lock 
nut that holds the screw so may loosen that and tighten up the drag a 
bit and see it that don't help.  73
