[TenTec] calibrator question...argosy I

[Mike Bryce]

Hola...

It's gray, muddy and out and out nasty outside.. great time to play  
with some older ten tec radios.

I've been playing with a simple 1 mhz oscillator  that is divided by  
ten to produce 100 khz signal.

works great! lots of square waves coming out of the divider. the  
output is right on the money 100khz..

now, the question...

hooked this oscillator up to the argosy I. gots all kinds of signal  
on 3.500, a good 20 over s-9.. switch over to 7.000 and the marker is  
very weak.

now..

move to 7.1000 and it's 20 over,  weak on 7.2 and 20 over on 7.300

on 80 meters..

3.500 is 20 over while 3.600 is very weak... 3.700 strong, 3.800 weak..

just the opposite of the 40 meter band..

on 20 and up, things seem to be right

so, why does this happen? I am at a loss to explain it...
