I am eager for the radio to arrive and see what difference I find with people actually talking. It's just dead from the house as far as I can see. Maybe SSB will be where they are at.

I think I made the repair to D11 or I got it so hot it stuck to the board I have no way to test any of this and no one to talk to for a before / after opinion.

The new radio will be here tomorrow and the Cobra will not matter so much then, at least for a while.
