you are doing good Robb. one other thing he can check is to put a VOM on the power switch and see if the power stays above 13 volts when he keys up and talks. some of the old radios had a bad power switch in them and not carry the full voltage to the radio.some of the old washington radios had a weak switch and I have put a relay in them to give full voltage when turned on. the 858 president's had a problem with that.
