Fantastic!? It's a great feeling to find and fix a vexing problem
like that!
I will try again to attend field day this year... see how it
goes.? I'll keep my ears open.? (I'm also going to try to run my
BitX40 in the evenings, on 7.177, more often.? I've been very busy
and need some 'down time'.)

Hey guys it's Kelly. Took a week off to do some things regarding
some python programming, and decided to finally tackle the issue
with the receiver not hearing anything. First thing I did was to
totally remove the AGC board. I went back and did some digging on
ND6T's website. I found some 90 degree header pins and soldered
them to the RF path trace that was cut.. I used a flat head
screwdriver to GENTLY scrape to the copper traces, this time. Then
i placed a (don't laugh) female to female arduino jumper wire on
the pins, and powered up the radio. Well, IT WORKS!? Loud and
obnoxious as ever...boy i sure have missed my lil ubitx. Oh. My
custom field day logbook is ready! (Linux only). Going to enjoy
the radio for a spell. See you guys on field day! Look for WA5CC.
