chuck grandgent <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Garey,
Ya, after tuning up, and it seems to tune OK, I do crank up the gain pretty much all the way, but the MN4 indicates only maybe 60 - 80 watts out. To date, realignment efforts , changing out the 12BY7 and the finals haven't seemed to improve this. I do have some resistor values in the T4X I want to check. Rick W9WS suggested I check the resistors in the MN4, as they could have drifted upwards with time. I haven't put a lot of time into chasing this down, but now that I've just put up a 265 foot Carolina Windom antenna, and getting some good contacts, I want to get the thing working right. 73, Chuck, K1OM Garey Barrell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > > Chuck - > > Are you turning up the GAIN control in CW after doing the tune-up?
