It has been a real "rumble" but I finally made some progress. I traced out the PTT modification and found the Plate switch to be bad and replaced it. There are a number of repairs and what appear to be audio mods with "added parts" and terminal strips and non standard wires. Hopefully the mods work and are improvements and not "echo", "Roger Beeps" and/or "Fart noise squelch tails". You never know what some of these vintage radios with 11 meters might have installed them.

I am encouraged, but if I lose the match, it will not be the first. Wrestling a 107 pound chunk of iron causes one to make some of the noises listed above. 73, John, K5PGW
