DX60 - The Plot Thickens

[Brian Carling]

Exactly Bob. The relay coil gets its voltage from the rear octal 
accessory jack.
The contacts go across the place where the HV gets turned on by 
the function switch contacts.
It seems to work out fine, but there are other problems here.
The first contact I made on 7040 kc. was with K5PSH, using his 
Drake 2NT and 2B station from Bryan, Texas.
He gave me a QSD report. My dits are almost dropping out.
Something is wrong with the keying circuits - it should
be easy to fix. They use grid-block keying and that is one 
of my favorite circuits... time to drag out the VOM again
and poke around in there some more! I will report back.
