Steve,
That certainly sounds like you have one of those rare occurrences - a
bad switch. It certainly can happen - actually most any part can fail
at times, but a bad switch is quite low on my list of usual suspects.

Don,
I just spent most of the afternoon going over every trace that is part
of the connection between the Front Panel, RF, & Control boards
looking for solder bridges and frayed wires. Remember this started as
a volume control mod requiring cuts and jumpers on all the above boards.
That said, I noticed the BAND+ tap/hold works every time if I push the
button differently. I normally push the button horizontally, that is
towards the rear of the rig. The tap/hold function works every thing
if I press vertically towards the bottom of the rig. That makes me
suspect the switch is going bad. It doesn't explain why the problem
just started after my other volume control mod.
I will probably order some switches from Elecraft and see if that
fixes it.
