Larry, You are trying to analyze too much in the KNB2 without looking at the schematic. The signal always passes through the Bandpass Filter. It only goes to the amplifier to detect noise. So check the toroids L1 and L2, C3, C4, C6, C7, R8 and R8. The RX signal should pass through the KNB2 w

I'm having a similar problem after installing the KNB2. So, I triple checked component location and applicable polarity and all solder joints for bad joints or bridged/shorted solder pads; removed, checked and re-installed the 2 bandpass toroid chokes, checked the ID number on the caps. Checked

Brian, Actually, that does not make a lot of sense. The T/R switch is too far removed from the KNB2 for that to be a problem (unless you were really wild with the soldering iron :-) ). Try jumpering (with a piece of bent wire) between pins 1 and 6 of the J12 header. If receive comes back

I am beginning to think I may have wacked or damaged the PIN diode for the T/R switch while adding the resistor for the KNB2. That might explain no receive or transmit that I am getting now. Does that make sense? Brian KB1VBF http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html _
