Got radio back. Receive is awesome with the mod he did for the RX.
AM seems to be TX just fine
Sideband is having a major issue. 35w carrier

are you looking for advice to fix it yourself?
the reason i ask is that i thought i remembered you saying in another thread that you don't like to go inside your radios at all.

That's not a carrier issue or it would be present the instant that you keyed the mic. It looks like there is feedback in the circuit causing the full power output to occur.
I would start by turning down the mic gain and see if the issue persists. And if that doesn't work I would try the radio in a different setting or on a dummy load. Maybe even a different mic to see if that might be the issue.
Get a monitor radio and see what it's doing audio wise as well.
I have 3 Grant DX radios and I have never seen one act like this.
If it were some sort of a carrier balance issue, then the dead key would show up all the time. I had that happen with a Yaesu FT101ZD that I bought about 15 years ago, but again it presented as soon as I keyed the mic.
Walks off shaking head.
And people still give perfectly good working radios and hard earned money to so called experts who 99/100 end up buggering up something rather than improving it.
