[Hammarlund] HQ-170A S meter problem

[Roger Basford]

Hi All,

I have an HQ-170A-VHF receiver which is in good shape and works well. There 
is one problem with it; every time I switch on from cold the S meter whacks 
over to full scale and stays there for several seconds until the set has 
warmed up. I'm concerned this may lead to damage to the meter in the long 
term. Is this a common problem/design fault or can anyone suggest a possible 
cause? I have checked the S meter zero setting and on-air meter readings 
seem credible, I use the RX mostly on AM.

Any advice appreciated!
