Tom & John,

Started some voltage checks.  I again reveiwed the "Soldering Tips".  Great
tutorial and I then proceeded to correct some errors, D6 RF board being the
first.

Found the audio problem.  Receives wonderfully but plan to go over all
alignment steps again.  I didn't connect the jumpers on one side of R18 &
R19.  Last year I built a kit where you inserted two leads but left them
standing straight up so guess what I did this time...they were sticking
straight up from the board.

Back in alignment & test part 1,  I tapped the display button and it read E
13.50.i0.06.  In alignment & test part 2 the voltage displays were correct.
The internal voltmeter worked properly when switched in at S1 on CRTL board.
During the signal tracing (trying to find the lack of audio) I started
getting the Lo Batt, info 080 and the display went to E.00.00. i0.00 and the
voltage, when some relays, but not all are switched is very weak.  So now I
am thinking perhaps a component is shorted or damaged.
