Just got a TT 1340 40M qrp rig and cant seem to get it to tune, swr is way
up and there seems to be lots of oscillation going on in the rig. Power out
is about 5 watts and the reflected power is just as high.
Both long wire antennas tune fine with all my other rigs, except the 1340.
Any comments?
Thanks......Gil


Have you tried calling Ten Tec? They were fairly helpful in getting my
1320 going.

Also, you might look at this guy's pages:

His 1340 was unstable into a long wire; stable when he switched to a
balanced antenna. Maybe you just need a different antenna. (I'm
running my 1320 into a multiband dipole, tuned through a tuner, and
have no problem with swr.)
