"...If you have a KEY plugged in, it must be closed (or unplugged) for SSB..." *************************************** Hi Garey, Well, I was HOPING that the solution to my lack of audio on SSB / AM with the T-4X would have been that easy, but alas, there was no joy in Muddville (again) when I tried it here (double sigh!). I measured the resistances on both V9 & V10 afterward, & all appears to be normal in that regard...next I guess I'll have to measure the actual voltages themeselves. The rig fires up on CW splendidly: it tunes up just as outlined in the manual, has a nice side tone, mutes the R-4, etc. etc. Yet, when I switch to SSB, I CAN trip the internal relay by pressing the PTT button --- but I get only a VERY slight indication of plate current (NO output power) in the mode, and no upward kicks of the meter in any position when tapping the mic...even with the gain cranked way up. With the rig set to AM, the plate current DOES swing hard right momentarily when the PTT is first keyed, but I suspect that has something to do with the controlled carrier set-up in that mode. Back to the ol' proverbial drawing board for me, I guess...! ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: drakelist@zerobeat.net Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
