Mike, I HAVE looked at this page. I looked at it over a week ago. I put the divider network of 2 4.7K resistors to pin 13 of the exciter plug and that cured the problem. Thank you to all who suggested fixes for this problem. 73s Steve --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Mike Morris

Hi I checked the 10 volt reg and it was a bit squirrleyI replaced it and it seemed better. But now I can not transmit my tone! I guess I have a jumper not connected. I am trying to find the drawing for the right jumper settings and connections on the 10 volt card. I have the #1 socket
