      Kimberly JonesAug 13, 2025
      If your TennaTronix Controller (TurboTuner-2) is dead, doesn't beep at startup, and tuning won't start, check the interface cable to ensure it's connected to the TUNER CONTROL SOCKET on the back of the radio. Also, verify that the fuse inside the radio is not blown.

      If the TennaTronix Controller antenna won’t tune on certain bands, ensure proper installation and grounding. Use the radio bar-graph display or a separate SWR meter to verify actual SWR. You may also try changing DIP Switch 5 setting to ALTERNATE SWR mode.

      If the TennaTronix Controller (TurboTuner-2) initiates a 'park' sequence on its own, it could be due to an anomaly detected in the RF signal. Ensure the RF cable is connected, and verify proper system grounding and choking of the RF cable and motor cable.
