Dear OMs on this thread, (Do not try to visualize this) Here is my report I promised yesterday: While I was checking cold solder joints, I checked the conductance of the tuning coil. The tap in the middle was fine, but the wire was broken near the rear-end terminal. The meter would jump a little and then show the infinite R. So I think it was a very fine "crack". Here is a picture that shows what it looked like after I de-soldered the PCB from the terminal and lifted the broken end. I soldered it back and now the PTO works fine. Thanks for useful tips. http://kihwal.fayoly.net/ham/pto_broken_wire.jpg Kihwal, K9SUL (ex-HL1SUL) Kiwal Thanks for the pix. Looks like you fixed that one! Congratulations.
