SB 200 SWR

[John Barkow]

Hi gang.  I recently found an SB 200 and proceded to install the Harbach Soft
Key and filter board.  Though the the unit had been dropped at some time in
the past, so serious damage resulted.  The unit works fine on all bands
including the WARC bands. The only prloblem is that the SWR reads high on ten
meters.  As the power is increased, the SWR goes higher.  I read in an
article onb the SB 230 that this problem can be caused by the inductive
reactance of the relay coil.  Installation of a 36uuf, 1000V capacitor across
the output terminal adds enough capacitive reactance to counter this effect.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what is the best way to correct
it.
Thanks, John kd6pt
