That's the thing: it's a different PTO that was working properly before I transplanted it.
Looks like I've got to try replacing the components on the filter board. Something is pulling the frequency...

Hi Steve, Well, I'm almost hesitant to say this, but ever since I re-soldered that connection of the 33-pfd. temperature compensating tubular capacitor in the PTO of my T-4X transmitter, I have not---FINGERS CROSSED!---experienced anymore warbling of my signal... ...In fact, I just checked it again a couple of hours ago. Still sounds A-OK. Now, that is NOT to say that the situation is 100% cured---I know better than to publicly proclaim anything like that, having been "burned" so many times in the past! Hi Hi. Best get that ailing PTO into a mailing container & ship it POSTE HASTE to Garey first-thing Monday morning, for his evaluation of the doggone thing (and to think that I once thought that only my old Heathkit SB-102 was the proverbial "...rig from hell"!). : >) ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ******************************************************************************************************************** On 2011-08-21, at 4:57 PM, Steve Wedge wrote: Turned the R-4A on, with the replacement PTO from the T-4XB, and I am back to square one. :-( The frequency is jumping all over, occasionally chirps, then un-chirps.
