[Kenwood] TS-940S deaf on all but one band

Hi all,

I have a TS-940S which is deaf on all bands but 20 Meters.

When I say deaf, I mean STONE COLD deaf. nothing can be heard. Signal 
injection directly into the antenna input from a sig gen provides a 
barely audible tone. I mean I have to wear hgeadphones in a quiet room 
to be able to even grasp any signal.

I have been through most of the boards with a soldering iron. Found lost 
of bad solder but nothing tht has fixed this problem.

A side note is worth mentioning here. Before this occurred, The rig 
worked FB. I usually keep my radio on all the time. I had shout it off 
when I was cleaning the shack. The rig did not move from its initial 
position during this downtime. Upon reapplying power, is when the 
problem started.

I have verified that it is not a cabling issue by using my daughters rig 
in the 940's place.

I would love to be able to fix this myself as it is my only HF rig.
Any help would be appreciated.

73, cul...
