RANGER

[K3ZW]

Does the Ranger's vfo run all the time regardless of funtion switch position ?? 

I have to put the VFO switch into a XTAL position to shut off the VFO in order to receive.

Otherwise I get an S5 signal in my recever.

My ranger has the PTT mod. Could this be a source of the problem ??

Would a shorted C20 cause this ??
 
Any advice is appreciated.

Sound like the keyer needs to be adjusted ,the adjustment pot is on the keyer self ,above the function switch.the manual shows how to do it.

That might work only if he has the keyer modification installed. Also, in the keyer modification circuitry, if C89 becomes leaky, the VFO will be keyed all the time.

Thanks for the info. Adusting the keyer fixed the problem.
