After taking some final measurements I connected a speaker to my SX-980 that I, along with much help from my friends at AudioKarma.org have been working on. I only had a small piece of speaker wire connected to the antenna, but the sound that came out of the speaker was wonderful... the sound of a WORKING SX-980!!!!

@ouimetnick Hi! thanks for watching/following my progress. I have been amazed by the amount of views on the threads for the repair. I hope all the great info that has been posted by the wonderful AKers helping me in the thread is helpful to other folks in the same situation as well. :)
