Dear Gang:

I have an HW-16 that has been recapped and works well with one problem-
-I can't seem to neutralize the 6GE5. No matter what setting the
little trimmer is set to, I can't get the dip in plate current to
coincide with peak output power--by about 15 watts. Any ideas?

Also, while I'm at it...I have two other HW-16s that now sound like
buzz saws on TX. Any suggestions here on where to look--could it be
something other than a power supply cap? I've started recapping one,
and have replaced all of them except the big multi section cap. I'd
really like to have all my HW-16s back on the air for SKN. Any and
all suggestions are appreciated!

73,

Eric WD6DBM
