First time post for me. Great Site!
I scored a "Mint condition" President Lincoln on EBAY a week ago. It turned out to be a good looking specimen in fact. Got a couple new mikes wired up for it, thought I'd throw it on the wattmeter,scope snd dummy load to set my AMC and noticed the AM carrier is just at 5 watts, Hmmm. OK, I pop the hood, attach the o-scope and begin adjusting the AM power pot, maybe the last guy backed it down to run a linear amp. Well, as soon as I break 6 watt dead key anywhere in the 11-meter band, it begins to squeal until I back it down again. I back down the mike gain to nothing, same deal. I find that if I set the freq for 28Mhz, I can set the AM carrier at 10 watts or even 12w with no problem, no squeal. Is this just how this radio is? :sad:
Any ideas?
Thanx for any input
