hmmmm.... I did use the VTVM to get a 0.2 v reading where I had an unstable reading with the DVM. Unfortunately I do not get tone with 455 kc on the generator + audio modulation and tuning the radio to 600kc (and I tuned above and below that to see if I could hear tone) at any of the pins you indicated in the post above so something else is going on. I'm going to reclean the pins and sockets to see if its something simply like that.

You asked if the audio stages are OK... can I check that?

I did recheck my generator with another radio and the generator as if it were a transmitter and I do pick up tone.
