Ron, you were right to begin with. I removed the coil entirely on one radio and sure enough the .7 ohm portion was indeed open! I don't know what I was measuring before, but it was a fluke, no pun intended...
I also found the break. Repaired it, and found another break closer to the ground end, so I gave up. The wire was brittle as could be too.

Sorry to have you run a wild goose chase, but I was certain that coil was okay, and I guess the other 60 has the same problem!! Having two of them with the same problem is no good... Your mod above could get one by. I am thinking I will leave it be for now. BTW, I always call anything above the BC band "shortwave". Just habit. The "police" band in not worth messing with to me, so I may just leave well enough alone for now.

Thanks again and sorry for the goof on my reading the coil to begin with.

Brian
