[drakelist] T-4XC problem on CW

2008-04-04 Thread W8NJR
I have a T-4XC that works fine on SSB but when I switch to CW and key the transmitter, It has full or a lot of drive applied and the gain control has no effect or control over the drive. Has anyone out there run into this before? I thought I would check before I start looking for the

OK Garey the ground is there. The pots both check about 520K ohms across the full windings and checking at the center terminal, the back pot checks 0-520K ohms. The front pot nearest the panel checks 0-15K ohms across the full range. I must have a problem somewhere else.
