I am working on the restoration and alignment of two HW-101s here.
Today, while I was doing the alignment of the receiver of one, suddenly
it required a signal generator input to the antenna jack of around
10,000 microvolts to get a reasonable signal output reading.
After I finished the alignment, and decided that I would get the 'scope
out to follow the signal through the system, expecting to find the
bandpass filter had opened up, I suddenly realized I had accidently
operated the switch that chooses either SSB or CW filtering, into the
CW position...and there is no CW filter.
Once I moved the switch back to SSB, a 0.1 microvolt signal out of the
HP-8640B is perfectly copyable.
