John,
For the VOX connector/circuit to work, the ALC pot switch must be in
the out position.

Subject: [Drakelist] L4B KEYING CIRCUIT FAILURE
A simple question (as if there really are any) about the Keying
circuit of an L4B. Because I use several radios to drive the L4B I
have a relay connected to the amplifier keying circuit that really
only grounds the leads, that has now failed to work. I looked at the
schematic and it appears there could be voltage on the VOX pins and
it’s actually referenced in the manual that if you have the pins
reversed the plate current will go up and to reverse the pins. There
is no voltage present!
· Saying all that, what voltage should I see if any on the keying
circuit when not keyed?
· Has anyone experienced this before and if so what did you find?
Yes, before anyone says it, I know ultimately I have pull the unit out
of line and take it apart to trouble shoot but I also know symptoms
can provide a path to repair and a place to start.
Thank you (in advance),
