Hi Rick No matter what I tried to Fix what was done to this transmitter. It would Put out Spurs all over the place. Yes It got to 75 meters...looking at the spectrum analyzer It was all over the place. these spurs were causing High currents and arcing. in the output Network. self oscillations the transmitter was what I call a Runaway. you Could pull out the crystal and it would still deliver full output Not a Good sign.. thats when I decided to Build the output network back to the RCA design. and try 160 meters.. it worked first shot. Clean spectral. If you like to Tinker with High voltages and networks. and not worried about Blowing out coils. Cool Go for it. I would recommend you put a spectrum analyzer on it when your Done. best to cover your butt.. and If you Do get a clean Output on 75 meters. Let me know Ill try it on another Rig I just picked up.. Now I know the Gates BC-1H can go to 75 meters I know one down south where its a dual bander it does 75 and 160 meters. going through a Divorce right now. so eventually Ill get to working on the Gates..
