Re: 98vhp no modulation

Ok I got Tx back the L44-43-42-40 was out of align. But I still have no modulation? Plus I get a 120+ watt deadkey on SSB? Rx is fine. ic7 is good.

Re: 98vhp no transmit

Looking at schematic I'm getting 6v to L31 and C200 but from C200 to c201-c202 and c197 not getting the 6v power? Would that keep me from getting Tx out? If I touch them other coils with meter lead it gets a signal reading on my other radio but no RF out?

The radio may have some crude AM swing mod, check the components for any non stock parts.

With the above settings, you should get 10 watts on AM/FM and 25 watts on SBB. If the power is still low I would changes the finals and the driver. I get 10 watts FM and 20+ on SSB but AM only 4 watts max no forward swing? That still means finals still could be bad? Maybe something else wrong with ...
