Hi, I have got a problem when transmitting on bands from 18MHz up.
Signal is distorted (on all power levels) and there is something like
"self-generations" - also on AM

Any ideas?

Yes most likely the VCO trimmer caps are in trouble. You may get some
life out of them doing a HPL alignment where you just tune the 4 VCO
trimmers. If not then they require replacing and generally all 4 are
done at that time.
