Wow, Now my brain really hurts!
I'll have to read that stuff a few times and hope a tiny bit sinks in.

I will try the difference between all the 20 and 10 db attenuator setting on a radio and see what happens. I can also clean up all the switch contacts on it just to be sure they aren't causing any problems. I know I never keyed up into this generator but that don't mean someone in the last 20 or 40 years never did. Or how ever old this thing is. It is in great looking shape. As I said before I found a mod on-line that made an output for a frequency counter to be connected without attenuation and not take away any of the power going out so as not to mess with the full output. This has been very handy.

Thanks to all for chiming in on this and helping to explain to a RF dummy. I'm doing the best I can to figure this stuff out and want everything to be right on the rest of the radios I might tune up as I buy and fix a few now days and can never keep just one radio. I like to change a lot.

BTW, I was in the AM mode on the radio. And in the INT mode on the generator. There is a CW mode on the Generator too but I never tried it.

For now its back on the road at 2am in the morning and I'll be back next weekend.
