Ok Andy. Opened up Wavetek. The 3rd module from the right flashes on startup,
but goes out right away. Pulled the modules. Used an eraser to clean the
contacts & then with a cleaner"Deoxit" on the bottom contacts. after pulling RF
module, where I think the problem lies. There were about 4 ICs, in sockets.
Pushed down on each one. No telltime clicks(Not Good) Think this module is bad.
Would you have one?

Open up the Wavetek, turn it on and look to at the LED on, I believe the
third module from the right, if it is flashing then the unit is unlocked, a
very common problem-made even more problematical since the IC's and components
for this board are no longer in production, I have one also, and know three
others with the same problem, if anyone knows someone who has come up with a
fix please share.

Well, it happens. just turned on my wavetek 3000 Station monitor yesterday &

Everything works except does not send or receive RF. no doubt its in the
RF module.Yes it has Modules. Anyone have this Problem? Also Where cpould I
get it Repaired without Spending a Fortune?
