Is there any wiring inside the mike that needs to be changed around? I read somewhere on the internet that on a relay controlled radio if the wires are not right, when you key the mic, you are making 2 connections to ground and it would be lights out. I have just a standard Cobra coffin mike and also a D 104 with TUG-8 base, it has a switch in the bottom for electronic or relay, which position should it be in?

I changed D26 and D2 again with no luck, now I have SSB receive and extremly weak receive on AM, no transmit on either.
The LED channel light does not go out in AM, but does in SSB when the mic is keyed. My new C1730, { TR5 } should be here by Monday, if that does like the last one, receive will all be fixed, but as soon as you key the mic, it will short out again.

Does anyone have anymore suggestions?

Thanks, Mike
