Thanks for all the responses to my troubleshooting questions.
Further tracing brought me to C6 (4.7 pF) at the back edge of the board,
which the manual states should be installed across the two outer pins of
the three-pin jumper block. I interpreted "two outer" to mean the two
adjacent pins near the "outer" side of the board edge -- i.e. in the
direction of the side panel instead of the center of the edge.
40 meters is incredibly noisy at my location right now, so I still hear no
signals, but the noise level has com'll assume I'm in good shape now --
will listen to some real signals tonight. I've never been so happy to hear
noise on the band!
Thanks N0SS for the terrific lesson in quick and dirty signal tracing.
