Nomad. I didn't want you to or anyone who replied with information on how to possibly get the preamp issue straightened out wasted their time.
I looks like if I'm going to get it fixed I'll have to send it out.
For now it's working fine.
With the preamp in the on position that is.
I'm guessing switching the preamp on and off toggle enough times had something to do with the preamp which hasn't worked in years to begin working again. As long as I leave it in the on position the receive is fine. Of course the signals that are coming in are amplified constantly. if I switch the toggle for the preamplifier off the receive drops down and won't come up to it's normal function no matter what. I am tempted to give that preamplifier toggle a shot of deoxit but I don't want to press my luck.
I'm kind of getting used to having the preamplifier on.
Those preamplifiers always bothered me and I never use them. As everybody knows they not only preamplifier the signal but I want to know he's along with it.
I guess having no choice has kind of got me used to it.
I'm assuming this isn't going to last and the toggle being on will eventually begin to either drop the signal down as it did when this toggle for the preamplifier was off, but for now I'm just going to use it the way it is. I have come to the realization that when it comes to any type of soldering or the jumping of wires from one point to another no matter how simple, is just beyond my capabilities physically. From now on when I ask about an issue I will do so with the thought that it will have to be sent out for repair. I will still ask letting me know beforehand what will be needed beforehand as far as what my tech will be doing. Thanks for everything. I appreciate the time You took to help me try to rectify this issue. 73
