[ARC5] ARC-5 as VFO

[Glen Zook]

Many years ago, I used a BC-459 as a VFO for 6-meters.  That VFO was considerably more stable than the VFOs being marketed by Gonset, National, etc. Glen, K9STH

  I am always amazed about the stability of the ARC-5 TX when used as VFO with reduced plate voltage.
I picked one up, greatly modified with VR tube etc. But plugged in the power cord and it was remarkably stable, especially after
a few minutes of warm up.
  I used them for VFO's for my 10A and 20A years ago. But still amazed.
