Hello everyone,
Boy was that fun. each time trouble rares it's ugly head, I learn new
stuff about my Drakes. No equipment failure, just operator head space.
The relay jack on the back of the AC-4 not only keys an amplifier
connected to it, but it can work the other way, if it is shorted, it will cause
just the problem I was having. What happened was the cable to my amp got
pinched. Not exactly the first place I thought of looking to find a fault.
Thanks for being concerned about my problems. Tom, WD8JPP

Do you have the INJ and EXC cables connected? AGC??
I doubt it's an oscillation, since both react in the same way. Not
likely a bad Driver tube either..
