[TenTec] Titan tuning problem

[Jeff May]

Well in a sense they do..they admit that under key down condx there can be a 
problem but the past threads I have seen on this indicate a problem 
period...in fact I think a past product review mentioned this...73..Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for your answer. The Ten-Tec service department
seems to not recognize the problem. This is what they wrote as an answer
to my question:

Dear Hans:

The problem with the caps only occur if the Titan is run in a key down
mode such as RTTY. The caps should not heat during normal CW of SSB
operation. Have you tested the Titan into a dummy load with only a short
piece of coax to see if the problem still occurs?

The fixed output cap on those bands is under rated and needs to be
replaced
with a more staut cap...5 KV or better ceramic transmitting cap...common

problem...73..Jeff..W0XV
