Last night I "exercised" the RCVR/XCVR slide switch on
the side of the radio and it came to life. Seems to
work well on 80/40 but 20m is in need of help. The RF
Tune is out of range; i.e., the gain on 20m increases as
I turn CCW but I hit the end of the range before it
peaks. I will align and hope that will make it better.
Thanks to Garey et al for input on fixing the "new" rig.

I encountered the same thing and should have thought of
it. I think it might be a good idea to lock the switch in
the XCVR position by means of a length of shim stock held in
place by the cabinet mounting screw a little behind the
switch. Just a length of stock with a hole drilled for the
screw and pushed against the side of the switch. Its _very_
easy to knock it into the wrong position. There is a similar
arrangement on the fixed-frequency crystal switch on the
R-4B. You could lock it with some tape but tape will
eventually come off.
