Hi Ken
Use your best ohmmeter to check your CanTenna.  The resistors
Heath used back then have drifted in value for some folks.
See if you are still near 50 ohms.
Good luck and 73

Hi All,
I've searched the archives for info on a problem with the 'Power Output'
control without success - I know I've seen some reference to it but can't
locate it.
Just commenced '40-Meter Transmitter Alignment' (page 72).
After setting the Power control to 2 watts and holding 'Tune', I get 18
watts to
the dummy load (external wattmeter) plus 'Hi-Current' display.
If I reduce the 'Power control to 0.2 watts (approx) I get 2 watts output to
the
dummy load (Heathkit Cantenna), but advancing the Power control towards
0.5 watts and holding 'Tune' suddenly increases output to 18 watts.   Seems
like it's all or nothing.   I'm sure I remember someone having this same
problem a year or two ago - just can't locate the archive.
Once again, I'd be grateful for your guidance.
73, Ken ZL1AIH
P.S.   I've been through all the 'Troubleshooting' procedure in the manual.
Maybe I've missed something.
