Jerry,
I measured the resistance of the antenna wire, it was 0. Like there was no current flowing at all.
But now I have a bigger problem ( or hopefully the same problem) one of my resistors completely fried, as in started smoking...not good. It was a 33K resistor #61 on schematic, says it should be 32K but couldn't find that type, only could find the 33K I hope using the wrong resistor isn't the problem? It said the tolerance was 5% so I figured it would work.
I was trying to see which way current flowed, so I could measure voltage and resistance step by step to isolate the problem but its hard to tell from the schematic.
I think I'm kind of lost at this point.
