Bob,
Yes, I have had that problem with rigs and it will likely "burn off" eventually, not knowing how long that might take. What I have done with problem cases, and you're not going to like this, is to go to the store and get an odor absorber, the one that worked the best for me was in a blue and white "tub", about 5 inches in diameter and 2-3 inches high. I uncapped it, put it in a plastic garbage bag, put the piece of gear in the bag with it, and left it there for several days. While it did work quite well, it deprives the owner of using the rig during the process. I'm sure others have better ideas. 73, Evan, K9SQG -----Original Message----- From: Bob Loving <bob.lov...@sbcglobal.net> To: Drakelist <drakelist@zerobeat.net> Sent: Tue, Jul 20, 2010 8:19 pm Subject: [Drakelist] Musty R-4C Hello fellow Drake lovers. I purchased an R-4C some months ago and it operates as expected. The addition of a 250-Hz CW filter makes operating that mode much more enjoyable. The only real problem I have with the receiver is a musty odor that's emitted by the unit after being on for a while. I suspect it was in storage for a period of time in a damp environment. The chassis does not show any pitting or signs of deterioration due to humidity which one might expect with the presence of the odor. Has any one else come across this kind of problem and found a solution for same?
