OK, more work done today! I did check and double check all the contacts on the band switch, especially those around the Xtal area. They are all good and tested good for continuity. There's a big contest going on today and I was able to hear some signals on the 28.5 band and the 28.0 band too! BUT they are very distorted, you can tell it's SSB but can't understand a thing (and yes, I tried both LSB and USB). Even the CAL signal is distorted. Not a pure tone, almost a buzz sound. All the other bands are working OK including the 29.1 band, I can hear the CAL signal fine there. Oh yeah,? I swapped another 6EA in there for V1, no change.?
Thanks for everyone's help so far, any other ideas??
