I don't THINK it's a cable. no amount of beating, poking, or flexing seems to make any difference.
I've thought about the notch caps. I do have a couple of spares. maybe I'll try to swap them in. The question is. WHICH TWO? I've swapped TX and RX sides of the duplexers already with no effect. You'd think that the notch caps on the RX side would be the ones that'd cause the most grief, but I can see how the others would too. Either way, I'd have expected to see some difference when I swapped TX and RX sides. I have a strange feeling that it's arching around the fingerstock. The inner tuning tubes showed definite signs of wear, but I THOUGHT the fingerstock was making good contact. Is there any 'approved' conductive lubricant for that area?

(Was DB4060 Duplexer Cables Sounds like maybe a bad notch cap or a bad harness cable. At first I thought maybe a transmitter spur, but you've now ruled that out. Neither may show up on your HP, but under real power it could.
