There is no crystal on 14 MHz. Because 5 + 9 makes 14. No need to heterodyne the PTO its already in the right place. Could be the mixer balance is off so three times the PTO is coming out the PA in the 15 MHz region to confuse tuner. You have multiple radios, you could listen for it there. I didn't look at the schematic that closely to see how they caused the PTO input to feed through, probably stuff DC into the balanced mixer to unbalance it in place of the RF from the crystal oscillator. I didn't check the transmit mixer for a balance adjustment.

Yes, I know this is a silly sounding question, I did some more testing and it 
seems to an issue on 20 meters only, I can tune
40, 15 and 10 ( I dont have any WARC bands on this radio). Is it conceivable 
that there's an issue with the 20 meter crystal?
I have an Omni C that loads on 20 just fine... Thanks for the input fellas, 
those of you that think Im a numbskull, you're
right!
