[Boatanchors] DX-100

[Al Parker]

Hi Ron,
    I just got the last 30 min. worth of msgs, I agree with Pete, there's
nothing wrong with your meter, your shunt may be a total short, or it's
leads don't get to the meter, maybe dirty switch contacts.  If the shunt
were open, there'd be no plate current, &/or the meter would be pegged.
If it's a total short 0.00 ohms, then the meter would read zero.  The
shunt will be less than an ohm, so your ohmmeter might make you think it's
a short.  More likely to be bad connections to the meter from the shunt.
    I'm just getting a Viking-1 on the air, have checked all meter shunts,
2 were off by abt 20%.

> Resurrecting yet another Heathkit DX-100. Need a panel meter from DX-100
or DX-100 B.
> Everything working fine, lots of power out but the panel meter will only
read grid drive, High voltage and modulation peaks, no plate current. Ring
tunes up fine on wattmeter and looks clean on scope so I guess the meter
is passed on..
> Anyone have one in your parts box?
