FIrst I am suspecting the power supply.

Second disconnect the volume plug and see, I would suspect the tone will be there if the PS is at fault.

Third If the tone stops then suspect the preamp transistor or earlier.

As you said you have disconnected the rest.

Good morning Jerry and the group,

Had to stop last night, having probed for nearly 10 hours. Jerry, my trouble shooting is hampered by not having an up-to-date schematic. My board is a Bitx40 V3. It's interesting to note that when I power the '40 up the tone is immediate and the rcvr comes on about a second later. I have all the components taken out of the '40 except the volume control... still the tone. I wonder if India could replace the board given the amount of time spent trying to get it working? I'll continue to trouble shoot today and will keep you and the group updated. BTW, the tone encountered is not a clicking noise.

73,

Did you enable the analog vfo by adding L4?

If the tone is still there with no vfo, that's a hint
