[Hallicrafters] HT-30 and SWR meters

[Robert Sauvan]

Hi all,
I am a bit baffled trying to get swr meters to work with my newly 
restored HT-30 transmitter. I have 4 which I have swapped and tried with 
the unit. The radio works fine when I dont have a meter in line. But, 
anytime I hook one up inline, the transmitter goes into transmit when I 
turn the dial from "warm up" to "standby". All of the meters work fine 
with all of my other transmitters. A Viking Ranger and a Hammarlund 
HX-50. All of the swr meters are the Radio Shack/Micronta style. Anybody 
have any idea what might be going on? Not that I really need one but it 
is nice to see the power output and the swr in case it changes for some 
reason.

Thanks-Bob-W0YBS
