Heising Modulation Bias and Sequenced Grid Block CW Keying (soon) Tank CircuitThe tank circuit in the Globe Scout series is not very good. An easy patch without destroying the rig is to solder a 220pF 1000V mica capacitor across the loading capacitor. Make up a 680 pF 1000V capacitor in a PL-259 connector also. When you work 40 and higher, use the standard RF output port. When you work 80 or 75, use the doublet port. When you work 160 meters, use the doublet port with the 680pF screwed into the empty regular RF output port.
Correction For Oscillator PullingRemove the ground from the driver tuning capacitor from the crystal socket. Route this ground to the terminal strip ground where the driver bypass capacitor is grounded. This is only a partial cure, but better than doing nothing.
