No, but I've considered it.  It's a lot more work getting the PTO in/out of the transmitter due to the short leads and the proximity of the crystal bank and bandswitch.

My plan is to drive the PTO from a separate supply and check with the rest of the receiver off and then on.  I'm monitoring the output on my K3 and can easily detect it the output is changing.

The thing that's really puzzling me is that the PTO that's currently installed was rock-solid in the T-4XB it was in, and I did test the operation (alas, the PTO control seemed to be the only function of that transmitter that worked, but I digress...).  It's just unlikely (but not impossible) that a previously-functioning PTO would suddenly exhibit the same symptoms as the one that was replaced.

Hi Steve,

A stupid question on my part, I'm sure, but here it comes anyway: did you ever install the originally "bad" PTO into the originally "good" rig...? 

If the bad PTO suddenly became good after such a trans-migration, then it'd definitely indicate that the problem resides somewhere in your original rig itself, BEYOND the actual PTO.

...But you may well have already done that & mentioned it in passing.
