[TenTec] Re: slight frequency shift

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

I can remember when the Scout first came out hearing of that problem and I remember Ten Tec has a reason for it....

  Hi Bill, thanks for your reply.well, thats interesting.How long ago did you 
have this done?
I was told there is a mod that will cure this and now I am really mixed 
up! You know Bill, its not noticable all the time and only during receive,I 
have asked other Hams if they hear any frequency shifts and they all say no.
The mod consists of replacing 3 caps in the PTO but now, maybe i should ask 
ten tec and tell them what they did for yours? i'll have to give this some 
more thought. Maybe that mod is for drift instead of shift,which is a 
different thing. Anyway, thanks for the info, its something to chew on!
Best wishes and have a good day.73, john kf7om
