https://wireless-girl.com/Projects/AMTransmitters/Collins32V.htmlI've been running a 32V-1 this year on 80, 75, and 40 meters and agree with the observations.
A quote from the article:
"Third, the CW keying waveform has ringing and variations in it. The HV power supply has a resonating capacitor across the swinging choke to improve regulation. It works OK on AM, as the load is more constant. The transients caused by full power to no power input on CW are more than the circuit can compensate for. W8JI has some discussion of the resonating capacitor for another radio, but the material is applicable to the 32V. Most folks have a 32V for AM operation anyway. I did not ever attempt a fix for this. It looks real ugly on a monitor scope, but does not seem to generate many complaints from listeners on CW. Maybe not a big deal....."
I would keep an eye on the choke tuning capacitor. Mine developed a slow leak around the seal. The oil-filled cap is mounted on its side. It eventually turned into a smoke generator requiring replacement!
