Hello Mike: I dont think there is anything wrong with the basic design of the Globe Scout. You could have something wrong with that particular rig though. Try just loading the transmitter into a dummy load (forget the tuner) and see how it acts then. Real sharp tuning might indicate a tendacy to oscillate.
