All.....thanks for the advice.....

Everything lights up........Periodically...all I hear is static, or 
diminished receive....In this state the antenna tuner has to be 
r-etuned...then it comes back....everything sounds fine...then have to 
re-tune again.........I have exercised the TX/RX switch.....with no 
success......

Sometimes it quits all together...when that happens all I hear is 
static...as if there is no antenna.....

Everything else appears to be working fine.......

Thanks,

Tim
