hi guys,
i'm in the process of restoring a 180a. tubes are
good, i
changed the electrolytics. rcvr does need a bit of hf
alignment but
works well now except for the last problem. so here it
is...all
functions work well on the lower bands. when the 2
highest bands are
selected, triple conv. kicks in, am reception works well,
but ssb & cw
does not. the ssb audio & the cw notes have a raspy or
burbelly(for
want of a better word) sound.


ISTR an instance where the LO tube was squirrely and the distortion
wasn't noticeable until you hit the higher bands. Worth a try to sub it
with a known good one.
