Hello,

#2469 lives again.  I finally located a sig gen so that I could begin 
signal tracing in the IF strip.

As I was beginning, I touched Q21 and the receiver came alive again.  A 
close inspection of the rx pre-amp (on or off, previously tested) showed 
nothing obviously amiss.  I reheated all solder joints in the area and 
the receiver seems normal again.

In spite of my efforts to protect it, I suppose it is a consequence of 
the rig often being near salt water and in tropical heat.

I will now re-install the KPA100 and see if anything misbehaves.  If it 
is still OK next month, it is going with me to OC-206.

Thanks again to those who emailed suggestions.
