Ok, there have been a few suggestions in the mic being the problem. If you
do not have an alternative mic, then carefully use an insulated jumper wire
to touch the two pins together that are the PTT and the ground (I do not
have my manual handy) that should close the relay (that is stop the recvr).
IF that works THEN you know it is your mic. IF that does not work THEN the
mic is not the problem.
If the PTT is not working with the Jumper, there is another test point w/o
opening the cabinet. Go to Accessory Jack # 1 on the rear. (See Table 2-2
in your manual) there is also the PTT point # 2 and groiund that. That
should disable the recvr. If that does not happen then for sure it is not
the Mic and something in that well packed box is the problem and that is
when I "bail" and send it to T-T after disccsuing the isse with one of the
guys who is a Delta II ghru.
(I have changed the back light so I have opened the case, but the first time
I looked in there I knew that my skills from the tube days were over - no
room to poke around :>)

Hi Kris,
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the reset and nothing changed.
Time to scratch my head some more, I guess.

Steve,
Your did not mention if you poked the reset button. That is my favorite
first step with my Delta II.

Hi Folks,
I lost phone transmit on my Delta II, probably due to 'operator error',
as
in I screwed up and possibly got 4v from the PTT into the mic line.
Still
works fine on CW & goes into Tune from phone, so I am assuming the
control
board is OK. I'm thinking I fried the op-amp at the mic input to the TX
Audio board. Wadday think? Am I on the right track?
Anybody got a junker laying around that they want to get rid of? There
are a few other minor problems that are annoying but not earth
shattering,
so having a donor rig would be nice.
My hands started shaking about a year ago and soldering in a new chip
might be a problem, so If I can throw good boards at it that would be
nice, assuming I can afford 'em. They diagnosed the shakes as
Parkinson's
and I'm off work right now. I'm an electrician, and having the shakes
could turn me into a crispy critter. (Not my idea of a good time....)
Anybody know if James Bond needs a bartender? I could do his Martini up
right...
Thanks
