Problem solved - the rig wasn't grounded properly.  Thanks for the suggestions I received and I am looking forward to using it.

> About a week & half ago I posted that my HW-8 had no output.  Got it going this weekend after replacing 4 transistors, 1 IC, a RF choke and a 36v zener diode. Did an alignment with output at 1 to 1.5w on all bands.  It has the original type final transistor installed.
