Thanks to Garey and the list for all the guidance- problem solved. Tracked
it down to low bias supply- I thought the -30V I measured was just the result
of the bias adjustment, when in fact the radio wants about -60V. Apparently
this affected the VOX, because I found that the VOX circuit was causing the TX
to stay in transmit when I switched from tune to SSB. I replaced the filter
caps and all seems to be OK now-about -80V max and -62V to get 70 ma plate
current. The other circuits all have only 1-2 V of AC on the DC outputs, so
they're Ok for now, but I think I'll plan a recapping project for this winter.
