Connecting the KX1 to a noise source in this condition gave a nice loud noise signal. How should I go about fixing this? I wouldn't think the enameled wire or the core would present an opportunity for a short. The pad of L6 is not near any tinned wire coming from T2. Should I put some insulation there? A bit of tape maybe? ---------------- That's why L6 had to be moved: T2 sits on the spot where it was originally on the top of the board. Clearly, some enamel on your T2 winding got worn off or punctured. It does come off rather easily! Yes, I'd put a bit of tape under T2 at that spot. That should take care of it FB. Thanks for the heads-up. I sure alerts me and perhaps others should that situation occur again.
