The 2N5235B is .15 cents + postage at Digikey. Better hurry they only have 14,500 left. 73, AK5X-Bill Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 30, 2024, at 4:56 PM, W3FPR wrote: > > Bruce, > > You might try replacing the diode in the N-Gen. > If that does not work, then look at the Noise Generator

I’m wondering what tests Electaft is suggesting? Remember the QSK (right side of band-switch) has two settings Full and Simi. Also in the Config menu CW QRQ = ON, seems to help, gives you the + sign on the right bottom of the display. My serial number 00069 seems to work as good as ever with
