The  axillary antenna function worked a few years ago when I last used it 
with  a small loop antenna, but since then something has changed. I am 
trying to  get all this working before CQWW160 in a couple of weeks, so I 
don't have  time to send it back to the factory for repair. Has anyone 
else has a  problem like this?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thomas,
 
I had some problems with my Aux antenna circuit, but it was that the  signals 
from the main antenna leaked through as I recall.  Anyway, the fix  is to 
change all those diodes.  The factory has some new tougher ones--call  Don 
Prouty 
and get him to send you a pack with a few instruction notes.   Also, he can 
most likely fine tune your fix on the phone. I'm not at all  technical, but I 
did change them out in about an hour.  I'm sure a tech  could do it in 10 
minutes!
