Sounds like the radio PA is most likely oscillating over a very wide range
or multiple frequencies. Tuner doesn't know which one to attack so the SWR
is shown very high to a broadband SWR bridge.

Subject: [TenTec] Still need help!
Hi,
Many thanks for the guys who helped me out recently with this problem.
I have a Pegasus 550 with built in LDG PT-11 built in tuner. Got the
latest firmware installed 1.201. TenTec GUI 1.71b1, N4PY ver 2.08. Delta
Loop 40m)
New Balun, feed line installed. Delta loop new last fall.
Problem: No drive on 20 meters! Will not Auto Tune, will not
manual tune with MFJ 949E and internal tuner disabled. seems ok on 40m, 15m
and 10m although do notice on 15m with auto Tune it settles out at power out
50 - ref 5 - swr 1.95 I always need to tweak the autotuner. 2 clicks on C+
gives me 50w o/p - 0 ref - 1.00 swr.
With internal tuner disabled and o/p set to 50w. TUNE gives me:
15m - 30w o/p - 0 ref - 1.00 swr
20m - 0w o/p - 0 ref - 1.00 swr
Driving me daft it is. :) Ernie
