Since the output has a roller inductor the standard V-II will tune WARC but the issue is with the earlier stages and the CDC has more BS positions.  Getting a suitable crystal and trying would be the easiest solution and crystals in the 6 mc range are almost free. Use X3 and X2 for 17 and 12M and 5mc rocks for 30M. Id suspect the 11M position is fine for 12M.


Hi Carl,

E.F. Johnson had THREE versions of the Viking II, i.e. the "Ham bands" V2, the CDC V2, & the rather rare "CC" ("Continuous Coverage") V2, which I'm lucky enough to have here, & which was used by the Royal Canadian Air Force as recently as 1962...
