Hi Robert.
Thought about that, but when the tuner is not in the 'tune' mode, it
works fine just straight through.
That is still a good idea. Will check it out tomorrow. 73

Try checking the coax connectors where they mount to the chassis. I had a MFJ
tuner that had wildly variable SWR, turned out it was the riveted so-239
connectors. Cleaning the places where connectors mount and replacing the rivets
with 4-20 hardware with lock washers cured it.

Hi Roger.
Yes, I did try that. I disconnected the torroid from the circuit. I think it
is something getting hot but just can't feel anything that gets overly warm
inside. It does drift faster at high power than at low power. I also
connected the input coax connector directly to the capacitor and the output
coax jack to the other cap.
I thought it might be the coil getting hot, but it is not even getting warm.
May end up scrapping it and just using the parts to build something else. It
is a real puzzler. Thanks and 73

Have you checked the toroid? It's been a few years since I had one, but IIRC
the toroid is always in the circuit on the 989C. If not, how about the output
selector switch? I've purchased more than one tuner/antenna switch etc that
had missing solder joints, or bridged connections from too much solder.
