Hi Steve,
Ok i certainly understand.
My ts2000 hasn't came down with that yet.
I hope it don't
The old 440's were famous for that among other problems.
Yes was great to be on the round table and i was able to fix my jumper 
cable on 40 meters to.
I ended up just adding a nother cable on to the exsisting one with a 
barol connector That seem to fix the problem with the tunner trying to 
retune all of the time.
Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw
