FW: [1000mp] No rx on 15m

[Jerry Spring]

John,

Congratulations!  You fared better than I did.  At one
point I solved my original problem (with one of the
VCOs not working) but a different one acted up.  I
finally had to replace the board, which was still
cheaper than sending the unit off somewhere in the
U.S. (Canadian customs always has a big finger in the
pie - even for repairs).  It really makes you
appreciate those older rigs, many of which are running
flawlessly after 50+ years of service.  Hope to hear
you on the air!

Jerry
