UGH!!!! I need to get my head above water!!! That's better than saying I need to remove it from.......

So, I think that schematic is wrong by labeling VR10 in that location. In the alignment guide VR10 is for TX Meter. On that schematic the TX meter adjustment is labeled VR9. I should have known better and slowed down!!!

I did pull the capacitor. It's a 1uF 50V tantalum 1206 case. I put a through hole electrolytic in it's place and all is well! All I have on hand are 1uF 16V tants 1206 case. Interestingly enough earlier versions of the 2950 used 1uF 16V in this spot. I wonder why they bumped it to 50V? Was it a manufacturing conveinence of does it really need a 50V. Hmmmm. When the radio keys it's hitting that circuit with 4.6vdc and goes to almost 6vcd on 100% modulation.

Thanks LC so much for your help!!! Sometimes we are our worst challenge [ATTACH=full]72423[/ATTACH]
