Matt asked: The local oscillator on the XV222 will not generate a sufficient signal level. The voltage measured at TP1 is 0.45VDC. When first tested, TP1 read 0VDC. Seeing posts about a balky oscillator being sensitive to L4A, I adjusted the slug while watching at TP1. Sure enough, as the slug

Hi Ron, Yes, Q1 is mounted 3/8 high with the teflon spacer. I was thinking that the crystal is OK because it oscillates at the correct frequency. How critical is the MPS 918? Could I substitute a 2N in place of Q1 just to check out the operation of Q2 (BFR96)? Is that a sensible thing
