[Johnson] Valiant with xtals

[Jerry K]

Fabio, a few random thoughts:

Does it do this with ANY crystal, or just this one?

Does it work ok with the VFO?

Can you put a 7143 kHz signal from a generator signal of about 1-2 volts
into the same pins and have it work ok?

Have you tried this crystal the other set of crystal plug-in pins?

Have you tried changing the buffer/crystal osc tube?

Have you tried some DeOxit on the crystal pins and on the octal socket?

   Hello all,
                 I have just got a try with my just-arrived 7143 MHz
xtal  (for 14286 MHz AM operation) but no luck...
I put the xtal in its socket (on n° 3 and n° 5 terminals), as stated
in  the manual...
When I push the PTT It seems it goes for few milliseconds, just a
spike, then it goes down...

I will check again where the problem is, but any help will be very
appreciated, my brain is getting very poor...

     73 de I0LBE,
         Fabio
