Hello,

#2469 lives again. I finally located a sig gen so that I could begin signal tracing in the IF strip.

As I was beginning, I touched Q21 and the receiver came alive again. A close inspection of the rx pre-amp (on or off, previously tested) showed nothing obviously amiss. I reheated all solder joints in the area and the receiver seems normal again.

In spite of my efforts to protect it, I suppose it is a consequence of the rig often being near salt water and in tropical heat.

I will now re-install the KPA100 and see if anything misbehaves. If it is still OK next month, it is going with me to OC-206.

Thanks again to those who emailed suggestions.
