[Collins] 32S-3 problem

[Al Parker]

Thanks again to Jerry and Alan,
	That was the problem.  I subbed about a 42k ohm 5 watter temporarily, 
and it's OK.  Now on to figure out why no RF is getting to the finals.
	I've been procrastinating a long while on getting an order off to 
Mouser, now I've got a good reason, plus I can get enough to do some 
preventive maint. on my own 32S-3 (if it hasn't already been fixed).
tnx agn,
73,
Al, W8UT
