Don Yes, it really does 'fade out' - but it does so pretty quickly, like, in 5 seconds or less. Kind of neat, actually, it would be hard to design a circuit that does this on purpose!
Any band change or power cycle brings it back, and, it even comes back all by itself, after a while. The RX is still 'on' ... although I don't know what it's listening to. Seems like it's actually going to some out-of-band frequency and staying there, as if the varactor in the master VFO became impotent. I hear the AGC pumping, as if there was a clicky Brand-Y running a gallon up the band a bit. I guess I will have a look-see in the morning. I wanted to get a few more multipliers tonight. Too tired to work on radios now. Gee ... never thought I'd ever say that ... must be age. Or wisdom. I'll post here what I find when I find it. -gn- 73 Steve KZ1X/4 ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better pen pal.
