[Drake] T-4XB LSB Problem

[Tony Sokol]

Hi Gang,
    I just acquired a nice R-4B and T-4XB pair and have spent most of 
the weekend cleaning and aligning.  The R-4 is coming out pretty nice 
however the T-4XB seems to have a problem with much lower output on 
LSB.  I tried performing the "Carrier Oscillator, Filter Match & 
Balanced Modulator" adjustment procedure with out much luck.  It takes 
many turns to get the balanced modulator to unbalance much at all.  I 
get a very small amount of carrier unbalancing R4 (carrier balance) and 
when I switch to LSB I get nothing adjusting C2 as suggested.  I can 
adjust C2 to get quit a bit of carrier in LSB while in the TUNE position 
but I don't think I am really balancing the filters in this position.  
In fact, when I do this I can whistle up output on both sidebands but 
again, LSB is quite a bit lower.  Tuning in the USB position I can get 
around 120 watts or better on all bands except 10 where it's around 100. 
    I hope this sounds familiar to someone and I am also hoping that it 
isn't pointing to a bad LSB filter.  If it is, then I guess I am going 
to have to find a source for one.  I hope I am just be overlooking 
something simple in my haste to get these two cleaned up and on the 
air.  Any thoughts on the subject?

    Thanks
