It would seem that one should try the following experiment, either in fact
or just as a thought experiment.

(1) Set up the Scout into a dummy load, power off, room temp.
(2) Have a frq counter set up to moniter the frq when the rig is keyed.
(3) Have a memory keyer set up to send a series of dits followed by a da
which wil be long enough for the frq counter to measure the frq at the
highest frq.
(3) Monitor the frq ctr with a video camera (or other means) so the frq can
be recordered along with elapsed time.
(5) Turn everything on and run, at a given keying speed, for a half hour.
(6) Do this for 3 or 4 different keying speeds, let rig cool between tests.


I would be interested in seening the results. Would the scout settle down
to where the transmitted frq was constant or, would it, result in a
situation (at some keying speed) that you had noticable frq jumps as shown
by the frq counter even after the temp had stabilized?
