[AMRadio] Globe Scout

[Mike]

I recently picked up a Globe Scout at Butler, got it working somewhat.  I used 
to have one of these long ago, when I was in the USAF years ago, I fired it 
up and got complaints I was coming over the police radio on base.

The one I just got I loaded up into a MFJ Versa-tuner with the dummy load.  I 
set it up to load into the load thru the tuner and noticed that the tank and 
oscillator tuning was very touchy.  if everything isnt set perfectly, I 
notice the SWR increase thru the tuner which tells me that the rig is either 
putting out harmonics or spurs.  Was this a common problem with this rig, and 
is there a fix ?  I see nothing on the websites concerning this.  I was 
tuning up on 160 and 80 meters using a 160M rock.

The rig is making close to 50 watts out on CW when its tuned properly.  It 
appears to be working properly, but I'm worried about the harmonic content.
