A good buy and a great performer Time Owned: unknown months.
I've been using the 238 for about 4 years now. It's used on all bands 160M - 10M with a balanced feed, center fed 256 ft wire as an inverted V. It is also used with a coax fed 75 M resonant dipole which is "tuned" across the fone and CW band, and on 20M and 10M with good success. No heating or arcing has been noticed running 1200 to 1500 watts. Tuneup is easy and very repeatable. I've not found any settings that are duplicated, like those found typically in T networks that make one wonder which setting is actually correct. The L network design gives one correct setting for the required match.
The power meter indications seems reasonable and the SWR meter compares very favorably with my more expensive external Bird meter.

A good buy in my book.
