Regarding the VFO jumping, it may be as simple as dried & thick grease. If the VFO jumps a couple of hundred cycles especially just after making an adjustment, or doesn't seem to stay where you put it, that may be your problem. I can't begin to count the number of TR7 and RV7 VFO's for that problem. The cure is to remove all the old grease and repack the bearing and lubricate sparingly. Be prepared to do a VFO alignment after you reassemble the tuning assembly. Ron / WB4HFN
