[Heathkit] DX60B/HG10B question

[Bwana Bob]

Ronnie:

I have the original HG-10 and a DX-60A.  "Stby" on the VFO disables it 
completely.  "Opr" is the normal operating mode and "Spot" turns the VFO 
on without keying the transmitter. Check the VFO to make sure it isn't 
wired for a DX-40 or other cathode-keyed transmitter.  Also check the 
function switch wiring. It may be offset, so that what you think is 
operate mode is really spot mode.

73,

Bob WB2VUF
