Thanks, Carl - tried that last weekend - no help (I have an Alpha 99 in
the loop, so took it out and replaced with the jumper - no help). Tried
master and regular resets, also no help. It's back operating again - I
think I need to open the case and go thru reseating all the cables as a
starter. The problem is very erratic, but when it happens, the rig will
not transmit for a couple of hours (typically). Really strange. I'm off
the contest at the moment because I thought the guy next door was doing
some tearing down in the house - turns out a nasty thunderstorm cell is
almost on top of me but the sun was still shining like crazy until just a
moment ago!! Yikes! Pull the plugs!
73, Duane
