THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP ON THE PROBLEM!!! Turned out to be a groung problem, as all of you mentioned. Had a brake in the shield of the power connection cable. Would guess impossible but true. we now have a 8 inch shorter cable. every time i put the 516 on the bench seemed ok till I twisted the cable and there was the problem. put the rig back on the air and also added a heavy aux. braid ground between the supply and the radio, just in case!    
   Iam using the rig with the new AOR vfo/hfo. what a fantastic rig you end up with when using this setup. really moves the collins into the 21th century.
thanks again to all who helped!!Its nice to know that so many of you really care about the hobby and the old collins gear.
thanks
