I have enjoyed all the Ten Tec contesting e-mailings and have picked up a lot
of good points from them. It is now time for me to reach out to the Ten Tec
community.
I have a Ten Tec Titan III 417a amp that I purchased a while ago on E-bay. It
has developed a problem where after turning it on, allowing to properly warm
up, and then changing from standby to operate the source signal to the
transmitter drops from a S9 to a S1 signal. When switched back to standby the
signal returns to a S9.
With the transmitter on low power and attempting to tune the amp there is some
amplified output according to my watt meter but the signal returns to a S1
signal. At this point I shut it down and removed from the lineup. In reviewing
the owners manual it suggest that a relay may be the problem. I do not feel
comfortable or confident enough to attempt trouble shooting and making the
repairs.
I looking for suggestions as to who I might get to trouble shoot and repair
this for me. I have tried to contact, via e-mail Ten Tec several times with no
response.
I have had my General license since 2008 and enjoy the hobby. I would like to
get this amp fixed and back in the lineup.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
