The HW-8 is in the shack

The HW-8 arrived at ~19:15 local time last night.  It was well packed and in very good physical condition.  The first step was to put Anderson Powerpoles on the power leads.  Next was to turn the HW-8 on and see how my WWII headphones worked after being on the shelf unused for over 55 years.  They worked like a charm!  So far, I only tried the little radio on 40 meters.  I listened and had a POTA contact with a park in Texas.  All I noted so far is (only on 40 meters):

• The received is hot.
• The dial is a lot more off frequency than the seller said it was.
• The meter pins when tuning for peak output.  Note:  The pinning is the result of a cold solder joint on R303 in the meter circuit.
• My power meter shows an output of 2 watts.
• Most concerning is a low-level signal just above the tuned frequency being generated in receive.  It was detected on the P3 when testing the radio into a dummy load.  It was not seen when the HW-8 was transmitting into the antenna.  The signal may be too weak to be detected when the K3 is not on the antenna.  Further research is required.  Note: This signal is not being transmitted over the air.  Also, it appears this is normal internal generated RF.
