<font color='black' size='5' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Thanks to everyone who has contributed to answers on the HW-16 I am refurbishing. It is getting really close to being operational, with (I think) only the oscillation on strong signal being left to fix. I tried all of the suggestions posted here, but none so far have been successful.

<div>The HW-16 project needs to be moved to the back burner for a couple of weeks while I await replacement parts. Too many of the carbon comp resistors had drifted up, so I'm ordering replacements to get things back where they should be. I also need the (finite) bench space to do final frequency tweaks to Drake R4/TX4C and TR4/RV4 combos to get them ready to be offered for sale at an upcoming tailgate. </div>

<div>'Watch this space' for a restart of the HW-16 project, and I again appreciated all of the comments. I hope we can get this back up to 100% operational status 'cause it is sure a nice little transceiver. </div>
