Guys,

Several of you have helped with ideas on where to look, etc.  I appreciate
all your help.

For a status update:

I worked my way through the SSB Gen board looking for where there was
modulation (since I knew there was modulation coming in from the mic, and
none coming out.  For a while, I was stumped at no output from IC1 (dual op
amp for the mic), but a tip from TenTec support told me to turn the drive up
(the standard voltage tests are done in receive mode with no drive).

Once I figured that one out, I got output of pin 1 of IC1, but no drive into
pin 1 of IC2 (the RF amp out of the board).  In between the schematic shows
C10, a 1microF electrolytic cap.  A quick trip to Radio Shack for a 99�
part, and we are now in business.  I made several contacts to both coasts
last night, on 75m and 20m.

Thanks again,

Jay
