Well now, I have stations coming in! This thing is just picky as to lead dress in places. I will align it later. Wires going up to the tuning cap were evidently fighting each other, thus causing a parasitic oscillation. Now, I have to zero the stations just like you would with a ham rig on CW. I will review the alignment procedure and later align. WHEW!! Bullet dodged.

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
