Hello Mark,
Just a guess, but could your RF Gain have been inadvertently reduced
significantly? That could render CW, SSB and AM inaudible while still
allowing FM hiss, assuming it was not being otherwise squelched.

And, of course, as soon as I sent out an email, I figured out that the
OFS/VFO B knob had been spun WAY out of whack and the RIT/XIT offset was
way off. Cleared it out and all is well.
Thanks, sorry to take up bandwidth.

You are both perpetuating the confusion here by pretending that these
are two different forms of antenna.
Of course the "counterpoise" will radiate. It will radiate energy
proportional to the current in it, and the longer its length the higher
the current will be. That's EXACTLY the same c

You can use whatever terms you want, but physically and electrically you
are turning the EFHW into an off-center fed dipole when you add the
"counterpoise" wire beyond the feedpoint. If you don't agree with that
you are merely adding to the confusion.

That all depends on your interpretation of "best". Please provide the

receive a better answer.
