Hi Rich.

Yep.  I tried both USB and LSB.  The SWBC stations, I could hear
using either USB or LSB; as would be expected.  However most of the
amateur broadcasts sounded garbled/muffled on one (usually LSB for
40m) and pretty much unintelligible in the other.

> Do you have the VFO connected or the jumper in place?

At the moment, I have the VFO connected, but it is turned off.  So
the only thing which could be an issue are the Jones connectors and
the switch contacts in the RV-3.  I may wind up replacing the jumper
in the TR-3 just to get the RV-3 out of the picture; so I only have
to worry about the TR-3 :-) :-)

I think mine might be different.  Using the calibrated output from
the signal generator (8640B) the S meter agrees with it.  Although
I haven't looked at the schematic to see just how the S meter is
driven.  What I seem to be experiencing is low audio.  I'm going to
poke around the audio section to see if I can figure out what is
going on.

I checked the test voltages for all the bands and adjusted the
three coils for maximum output.  Unfortunately, I didn't see
anything in the manual which what sort of voltage I should see.
