Jason, Check the board carefully for any solder bridges or near solder bridges in the vicinity of J3, C33, R17, pin 24 of U1 and pin 5 of RP1.
If you have a lot of flux residue at any of the above points, scrape it away and see if the problem is still present. Often bits of metal can become embedded and remain hidden in excess flux residue causing a solder bridge that is veery difficult to detect. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > So last weekend I posted an message asking for help with my KX1. > After taking the top off, I thought I found the problem so I corrected it. > It appears I did not fix the problem for long.
