Quintuplers CAN be made, but, so far, Paul hasn't explained
enough specifics about his circuit, or how he is sensing any 5th
harmonic for any of us to get a good handle on a possible aid.

There's now the schematic of the relevant stages viewable on abse. If
there's anything else that's unclear, please feel free to ask for
clarification.

Note: Lacking any spectrum analyzer, a wide-range HF receiver
with an S meter can be an indicator...but such needs to be checked
against a calibrated signal generator for compensation of varying
S meter indication versus input levels. That's what I use for
checking HF levels (Icom R70) and it has been calibrated against
a reasonably-known-level RF source.

Len, you're a genius! I'd totally forgotten about that old dodge. Now
I have just the job in the attic: an aging Yaesu FT767GX that hasn't
been used for years, just lying around waiting to have its front end
blown up! :-)
Thanks!
