[Heath] HW-8

[N4ch at aol.com]

Not sure if this is your first post here or not........first  one I have 
seen, though.   Might be an instability.........check for  an oscillation if U 
have access to a spectrum analyzer.   If U don't,  does the key-up current 
drawn by the HW-8 change when U tune the TX output  tuning cap, change 
bands, or tune any of the mica trimmer caps near the  bandswitch ??   It should 
remain very low once the rig is  unkeyed.   Tuning the big output capacitor 
(front panel) and/or any of  the exciter trim caps should make ZERO 
difference in current drawn, while the  radio is in the receive mode.   Good luck.

Finally working on fixing. Replaced Q7 and got the relative power   meter 
to move on all bands. Problem now is I can key the rig and when I  release 
the key, the meter stays at 5 untill I power it down and up. The meter  
returns to zero after that.
 
Any ideas???
