Thanks again for all
of the excellent suggestions. They really do help. Checking the 20M
crystal
using both the T4XC
and the R4C was smart, but was unable to get any output. I took the
covers
off and looked it
over good, nothing obvious. I then borrowed some DeOxit and went after the
bandswitches
still no luck.
I then resorted to the tried and true "Just start poking around in the radio
with an insulated stick"
method while trying
to tune and bingo, I found an intermitant something. Couldn't really find
anything obvious
but by moving the
mounting bracket of the central rotary switch of the band control I got it to
work on 20 meters. I tightened up a few things including the band switch itself,
it was loose and so far so good.
Thanks again
everyone I appreciate the help!
