A local Guy I did some swapping with a couple years back missed his KLV-1000 that he traded with me for a Skipper 300.
..
Well, I guess he missed that KLV, which I never really used, so today I traded that KLV for a Uniden Washington and a Grant XL
The Washington works, and sounds pretty good (for a stock radio), and is putting out a 4w carrier on AM...
The only thing I see wrong with it is the meter needle sticks about halfway... and the carrier is set too high....
I hooked up a classic Silver Streak 150 behind it (50w carrier on Low, 125w carrier on High and downward modulation on the needle and O'scope). I figure tomorrow I might pop the lid and turn the carrier down to about 2 Watts.
I haven't plugged on the Grant yet. But he said it works.
I only have 1 mic for both radios (stupid Uniden 5 pin plug), so I will have to wire up an adapter cable.
I have never actually had any "FCC" SSB rigs, as my jump into the SSB world was with an export rig to head North of Channel 40...
Any ideas on fixing the sticking meter?
