crystal transmitters do drift a little with age and temperatureapenwith wrote:Hi
I know virtually nothing about radio but over various threads people have suggested many causes and remedies and it still seems to happen randomly so - just a thought - could it be that the frequency of the transmitter is drifting. Maybe a radio expert will know if it is possible.

going back to Timfy`s post impedance matching would be difficult on a FO transmitter, but as it only puts out very low power in short bursts I would not think that the output transistor would have time to get hot enough to blow
weather or not using a dipole or similar antenna would help is very much open to experiment
its a long time since i passed my amateur radio exam (G8XTO)
