FW: [1000MP] Receive problem SOLVED

[Dick White]

Ron,
Well, you learn something new every day. You were correct Ron. Somehow the
Ant A was not selected. I do not have an antenna on the B position.
Evidently I must have accidentally hit the ant button and turned off 20
meters as there was no A or B besides the "ant" indicator. Now I feel rather
dumb as I thought I had checked at everything. Thanks for the help Ron. This
I will remember as long as I have the Mark-5.

Just a thought ... check your Antenna A/B switch.  Could be 20 is in a
position with no antenna.
