Thanks for the info Don.  Unfortunately it is not the cause in this 
case.  I have checked the continuity of all the toroids and all seems 
well there.  I also had a response from Stewart G3RXQ and I have looked 
at what he mentioned.
I don't think it is the VOXDET Stewart as I actually have *some* receive 
with the board plugged in, just well down on where it should be although 
I have looked very carefully for shorts but cannot find any currently.  
A S9 sig on the meter without the board does not move the meter with it 
plugged in and the receive is well down to match.  Any other ideas 
gratefully received.
