Allison, thank you, I will do that.? I had removing C17 on my list to test, but didn't try it.? I mistakenly thought that once PTT triggered the relay, it was a non-issue.? I see now that leaving C17 is a problem.

Early on I tested +5V to R6 without RF in and the current was stable at 1mA.? With RF in, the current was much larger and unstable, I guess due to the rectified RF!?
