Hi Andy,

So, I fired up the wood stove and sat with a beverage and the radio for a while.  I then took the hot poker and.....well, never mind......


While I was at it I did check the only cap you mentioned (C49) that had not been replaced yet and replaced it.  One interesting note here, that cap was mounted to the bottom of the board instead of through the top.  The solder job was decent so maybe they did that at the factory...


The cap replacement did not help and when I hooked up a speaker to the PA it was not very loud.  The mic gain was all the way up and the speaker was sitting next to the radio.  Do you agree that this is sounding more and more like the audio chip?


Thanks as always!
