I have built the RF probe but I am unable to get any signal less than about
200 mV even when not touching anything. I have tried three DMMMs with no
better luck. I do know that I am transmitting something because I can pick
up the transceiver signal easily on any of my HF receivers. I have been
able to establish that pin 2 of U8 on the Control Board reads 5.0 volts key
down and that means (according to page 14) that I should check the
components around the RF detector...and I will as soon as I can find a way
sense RF. Maybe I will switch to the scope tomorrow and try that. Any
other ideas will be welcome.
BTW, I have checked the RF detector again and again. It's a pretty simple
circuit and the diode is oriented correctly.
