Ken, Have you tried CW mode to see if it is related to the audio chain vs more or less just the RF chain? 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Fri, 2/18/11, kendw...@netscape.com kendw...@netscape.com wrote: From: kendw...@netscape.com kendw...@netscape.com Subject: [Drakelist] TR-7 no transmit To:

[Drakelist] Cracked MN2700 Reactive Range Switch Knobs

Are you guys tired of my MN2700 saga yet? I certainly am! Anyway... One of the little cylindrical push-on knobs on the two horizontal reactive range switches broke apart when I grasped it and I think the other one is cracked and not far from breaking. Does anybody have any spares or know
