Hello Doug,
From what you have indicated, I would suggest cleaning the mode switch. You
may be able to do that by just running the switch around a lot Otherwise a
very little bit of Deoxit or Cramolin on a toothpick applied to the
contacts.

Doug Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of SSB, I plugged a mic into my T-4XC this weekend thinking I
might try to check into the Drake Net. First time I've had a mic
plugged into that thing in *years*.
Anyway, when PTT is pressed I hear a relay click (both on press and
subsequently on release) but the rig remains in receive mode and I still
hear signals on the band.
Then, I noticed that in Tune I get no RF out. I'm a CW guy and I always
tune up by pressing the key in CW mode.
While fooling around with these oddities I noticed that *sometimes* if I
rapidly switched from AM to CW to Tune that tune would work normally.
But, only rarely. And never when switching from CW or SSB to Tune.
Also, no VOX although I have it setup for CW use where it works fine.
Bias is fine, I recently installed an AC4R kit. I also recently
replaced the T/R relay (adding the resistor). And, the rig continues to
work just fine on CW..
I thought I'd put it on the bench tonight -- anyone have any hints
before I dig in?
Thanks and 73,
-Doug, W7KF
