does your Ranger have the "12AU7" keyer in it?<br>

my ranger has a weird little problem that I need some advice

The vfo works fine, drifts down a little, but otherwise stable after
<br>
about a 20 minute warmup.<br><br>
With a crystal, it works fine also, nice and stable HOWEVER, <br>
when you unkey the transmitter after making a transmission,<br>
or tuning up, or whatever, when you unkey, the oscillator continues<br>
to run, with a signal strong enough to blank the frequency you<br>
are on, rendering it impossible to hear whoever y our talking to.<br>
Sometimes, after 20-30 seconds, it will drop out on its own. But <br>
othertimes, it never does, and you have to manually turn the switch<br>
back to the vfo, then back to crystal, and it will drop out, until<br>
you key up then unkey again, when you have to do it all over<br>
again.<br><br>
anyone have any idea's on this?<br><br>
