I just built s/n 4426 and it had the Motorola blue colored MPS5179 which
caused my freq counter not to work. Gary at Elecraft quickly identified
my problem when I told him I couldn't get a reading out of TP1 with the
internal freq counter. I was promptly sent replacements and all was FB.
I was told they have since purged their inventory of these Mot MPS5179
(bad lot?? Supposedly low gain?) so future issues should be solved.
