Dave, I'm beginning to think there could be some improvement in the Maggorie transmitters, I worked with that one again after I took it from service, and never did get it to work right, close, but not like it could or should be. I seen your post on the squelch problem on the 220 system, makes for believers out of us.
I truely believe my problem is the result of a bad antenna, well not bad, just not tuned to work the low end of the ham bands. From some of the post I have been reading here, does not seem there has been quality results from the rebuild of DB224 antenna's, at least not enough that makes it worth the troubles.
Plans are to just purchase a new antenna and be done with it.

Really? Guess I'm spoiled with the Midland 13-509 & G.E. radios: both are
fairly difficult to make spurious even if you try.Yeah, it's not pretty.This is by far the most "picky" transmitter I've worked on. Most everything else is either right or pretty close to right if you simply tune for max output. On the daniels gear, that IS the tuning procedure, other than watching for peaks in current consumption, but again you can simply tune for max output and you will be clean, just maybe not as efficient as you could be.
