Hi Greg,

We had a Telrex tribander at the Univ of Mich Club W8UM.

It had almost no F/B on 10M and we found the driven element
trap resonant very high in the band.  We retuned the traps
using insulated  wires connected at each end and taped 
together forming a parallel capacitor.

If you have some modeling software, check your reflector
and director dimensions and see where they resonate.
