[Heathkit] Maurader Transmitter

[James M. Walker]

Hi Dave,
When you put the unit in transmit, what mode AM/CW/SSB
are you in? Next if in SSB did you check the settings for the
speech amp input for audio going in.

A quick check is to try CW mode and see if there is signal out,
The Marauder uses XTAL mixing to generate SSB so if all else
is working you want to make sure that you are getting the injection
siganls for the various bands.

Questions, questions, it is a great rig but need more input on your
particular setup.

HV is a good indicater, But relays, does that mean the HV on relay,
I would have to check my manual for that, which relay did you
mean?
