Hello,
I am having two problems with my 940.  I am the original owner and this is
the first time that I have had any problems with it.  The two problems are
as follows, as I know them:
 
1) Antenna Tuner:  Tuner will not tune into a known good dummy load or
antenna below 9.194mhz. Tuner just runs and runs and can't seem to find the
lowest SWR? It tunes and works great from 9.195mhz up to 30mhz.
 
2) Mode: CW, Amps/Watts Out:

        When I open the "FB" lead from the "AVR" board and verify the
current there and VR6 on the Control board is set to "maximum", I see the
following:

The 28v supply tests ok. Any idea's or thoughts on either of these two
problems would greatly be appreciated.
