Thanks again Jerry.? Those were DC voltages as measured by an auto-ranging Chinese DVM.? The LCD display has blackened on my good volt meter.? I do have an oscilloscope, but just haven't had enough time to really look in depth.? I am looking for another microphone jack identical to the one that came with the radio, but doubt that is the issue.
The radio was never jostled around as I was simply plugging in a cable from the C-Media soundcard dongle to the microphone jack on the radio.? It could be a coincidence that things went south I suppose.? I did use this radio for a year without any issue, other than with the built-in keyer.? I've been using an external keyer for several months as I was never quite able to get the internal timing in the radio adjusted.? Much past 18 to 20 wpm, and all sorts of strange things would happen after a few minutes.? But then again, that is an entirely differently issue.
It will be this weekend before I have a chance to play with it again.
