Viking Valiant tune-up question (160 and 80 meters)

<< < (2/4) > >>

WBear2GCR:
The cam block is misaligned, probably.

Put the rig up on its back or side, get the receiver on.
Put the rig on 40m, set the switch for ZERO.
Put the receiver on 40m, BFO or SSB mode, find the VFO's carrier.
You may need a local wire near the rig from the receiver, or not.
Then manually move the cam block - with the reciever on 80m... tune for the
signal.

Once you find the signal, note where the bandswitch (you did not move the bandswitch
yet) has to be so that when you move it to 80m it puts the cam block into the position
you just noted.

Then loosen the setscrew and reset the cam block, test.

It does not work quite the way it looks like it should!!

Things should work if the rig works on 40m then it ought to work on 80m...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them, and report back. Might not get to it in the next day or so though. I hope that is all it is.

Ed/KB1HYS:
I've got a valiant too.  Been up to my elbows in it lately. 

If you want to compare notes, that would be a FB thing I think.

By stock in 6146 tubes...

Check the screen dropping resistor on the driver and check the plate swamping resistor on the same toob.....

Do you mean the Type 5763 (V4) RF Multiplier/Driver tube?  ???
