[Heathkit] HG-10b vfo question

[Jim Goudie]

HI Glen,

Thanks for the response.  Today I disconnected the vfo output cable from the DX-60 so that the vfo was operating without the transmitter putting out power.  I’ve also measured the voltages in the HG-10b (with the DX-60 connected, in CW mode, and tuned up into a dummy load) and the voltages are the same for 'key down' in OPR, and when it’s in SPOT.  So I don’t think that’s the issue… but we’ll see.

Thanks again & 73, 
Jim  AF3Z
