Good Morning group!
I aquired a Valiant a while back, and after changing the
relay,electrolytic caps, and a couple of tubes,with the help of a
buddy, got it working well. Now it has a problem. It tunes up
fine, and when I put the oscillator switch in the zero position to
beat it with the receiver, all is still fine. However when I
switch it back to the vfo position, I still get the "whistle"
sound as if it is still trying to zero beat, although at a
slightly different frequency. The meter is showing the oscillator
is drawing a lot of current in the vfo position. I am not sure
where to start looking, as this is the first transmitter I have
worked on. Any ideas or info would be most appreciated. Thanks in
advance & 73.
