John:
I get no high-pitched beep when I push the PTT, so that leads me to think
it's transmitting. And, I checked the balance control, and it seems fine on
both VFO's. And, I checked the receive tone squelch, and it's off.
So, I continue to be stumped here.
Have only a few more minutes to try to fix it, and then it's time to get
ready to get some sleep so we can hit the road real early tomorrow morning.
