Tune up Drake B Line. 
 
Pre tune using spot settings. Fine tune on antenna with  about 10 watts.
 
Not all the time but some time when peaking the  pre-selector on the 
receiver the output will drop suddenly or increase suddenly  to 40 watts. The 
output on the Drake MN 2000 watt meter will show a fluctuation  on the meter. 
Moving the meterback and forth a couple of watts from the 10 watt  setting.
 
Any ideas? Poor RCA cables? MN 2000 meter circuit? Anyone  else ever see 
this on the output meter. It just drives me nuts to see erratic  readings like 
this on the output meter. I get 260 mills on the transmitter meter  so the 
output seems ok but it just drives me crazy to have this kind of  issue with 
the rig. 
 
The rig was gone over a couple of years ago including  rebuilding the power 
supply and some additional tube replacements. about $400.00  worth of 
repairs and upgrades. It was working at the time but was experiencing  another 
intermittent problem. 
 
Anyone else every experience these kinds of problems with  their Drake B 
line ?
