[Johnson] Johnson Valiant Zero Beat Tone

[Richard Knoppow]

     I think some on this list are suspicious of this post.   I will 
assume it is serious.   The Viking Valiant does NOT have a side tone.  
CW is monitored in the receiver or a separate side tone generator is 
used.   Zero beating is done in the same way by turning off the receiver 
mute and listening to the signal from the exciter part of the 
transmitter on the receiver.  If you have been getting a signal for zero 
beating on 20 meters it should still be there unless the transmitter is 
not putting out at all on that band (possible).
      Tell us about the rest of the set up; what kind of receiver are 
you using, do you have an antenna tuner,  how do you switch the antenna 
from receive to transmit?   Any other details.

> I have a Johnson Valiant that has lost the Tone for the Zero Beating it has it on 20 meters but not on any other band and I am not sure where to start to look so if someone can give me a good direction to start and try to walk me threw what to look for & do that would be Great & know I am not a TEC of any kind I just picked this Transmitter up and am trying for what little I know to get it back on the Air. I do have the Manual but it really is not any help that I can find.. I have read that the Side Tone Oscillator has something to do with the zero tone but where is that on the Valiant?.. So any Help would be Great.
