What I'm saying is there was something wrong in the BFO section. I KNOW to
back the RF gain down. Did you read my original post? Sorry if I wasn't
clear enough. Compared to my HQ 129x, a very similair radio, the SSB was
much trickier to tune in and CW signals were overloading much quicker.
Something was clearly wrong. Some people have e-mailed me off list with
ideas to increase the BFO injection slightly and everything is working fine
now. Thanks to all who helped.

When did this commonplace knowledge disappear from the radio scene?
Pity...I guess thats why we have this forum.
