[Elecraft] RE:MORE CONCISE INFORMATION FOR "HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS"?

[James T. "Jim" Rogers]

Here is what I have been able to verify.
	8R (8.0 VOLTS TO THE RECEIVER SECTION IS BEING TURNED OFF BY THE MCU
IMMEDIATELY UPON COMPLETION OF THE ELECRAFT 	MESSAGE ON POWER UP. You hear a
brief burst of atmospheric noise then the reciever goes quiet.
	Verfied Conditions expected to transition unit receiver 8 V.
	***Tune Switch - Verified the operation of the tune switch be HOLDing it
and hearing the beep indication TUNE had not 	been 	set. Closing the KEY ckt
does not return the unit to receive.
	***PTT is not currently wired as have gotten to the SSB adapter. Verified
PTT being held high by 82K resistor RP4 by 	measured 5.0V.
	***DOT/PTT - Closing DOT to VDD would generate sidetone and no sidetone is
present(Sidetone is operational when DOT or 	DASH are toggled at the key
jack).

	Additional Information:
	***The last segment of the S Meter is illuminated alone. I have looked the
manual over and have not been able to verify
	this as a transmit indicator?
	***The 8T voltage to the trnnsmitter is NOT switching(NO T8 Voltage to the
transmitter).
	RESET has no effect on the condition other than the period between reset
and the unit returning to the frequency 	display.
	***Activating the KEYER will while DOT and DASH are held key down, the T8
and R8 voltages switch as would be expected.
	Immediately upon key up the reciever R8 voltage remains off.
	***ALL of the steps in Alignment and Test Part II were completed with now
problems, and were re-done just to make sure.
	You can turn the R8 voltage on by going into menu and advancing the menu
until you reach ATU. The reciever R8 voltage
	will be turned on. You can continue to advance the menu through all of its
items and the voltage will remain supplied
	to the reciever circuits. As soon as you exit the MENU by tapping MENU the
voltage to the reciever circuits is removed.

	I would greatly appreciate any help you might render. Just my luck to
recognize this was occuring on a weekend when you 	cannot call the calvary
but those guys deserve a couple of days off too.
