This is going to be a needle-in-a-haystack question, but here goes:<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">I have a nice HX-20/HR-20 pair. So far, the receiver is great, and I'm trying to align the TX by the Manual. So far, I have the 9MHz IF transformers peaked and the 80m Mixer and Driver coils peaked. Now, I'm trying to get to the carrier null part. I've hit a wall, as when I use the mic PTT and listen for the signal in a monitor RX, the signal sounds AWFUL. It's not a carrier, but a garbled-sounding rough buzz, and this is with no TX audio per the Manual. It should be a decent CW note, but surely not THIS! Makes me think it's self-oscillating, but that's not happening because when I let off the PTT, no signal and the T/R Relay is working as it should, So far, the alignment procedure has gone without a hitch.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:rgb(0,0,255)">Anybody have a guess what might be amiss?
