I have a Henry 2KD-5 that I am using on AM running 300 watts. 
There is a low level but noticeable 120 Hz hum on the unmodulated 
carrier in CW mode.  The hum is super imposed on the AM signal 
amplitude.  Local stations can hear the hum.  I have tried two 
exciters and they are not the source.  I have recapped the filter 
capacitors to 250 mF without change in symptoms.

Is there something else to check or do I just live with the hum?
