I thought of this earlier this afternoon while writing an explanation of what it was doing for Dene. I had written that I had verified power to the main board because I could access the fingers that engaged the electrical connector...but really I only verified the bottom set...I couldn't access the top set. And waaaaaiiiiit a minute...why can I see 1/8" of printed circuit board connector finger exposed??? That was easy enough to test, so I removed the radio, then the connector, and tried it with no tray in between, and the radio lit right up and worked fine! PARTY! So I put it back together in the tray without screwing down the connector, and slid up nice and tight and worked perfectly again, but I needed a spacer between the connector and the tray (screwed on from the inside, for some reason). Then it occurred to me that on the previous installation I'd stuck the tray through the panel, and on this one I stuck it to the back of the panel. There's the .105" difference, and that little bit was enough to keep all of the pins from engaging the radio's main PC board. I made some spacers, reinstalled everything, and it works great! Problem solved, and things are back on my pathetic schedule to get this thing back in the air...
