Hi everyone,
Thank you all so much for all your suggestions and advice! It looks
like I have some kind of intermittent fault in my PLL Reference
Oscillator. I've retouched all the solder points in that area incase
it was a cold joint, and after poking around at it for a bit it
suddenly seemed to be working. Then after a few minutes it went dead
again, no oscillation.
So I poked the crystal X1, just kind of tapped it, and suddenly it's
oscilating again. I've verified that there are no cold solder
joints, the crystal is securely soldered and the case is grounded.
After working on it for a while, it seems like the slightest touch or
movement to the rig can cause the reference oscillator to start and
stop.
Does this problem suggest a failure within the crystal itself?
Thanks also for the advice and feedback about the case bottom, I've
got the feet parallel now and everything seems good there.
