Yes Garey: Any of the rigs with lots of connectors, card edges, and switch wafers are an issue. I never had done any cleaning on these switches at all since they looked brand new. Even now, not a hint of the normal dark color on the switches. But I could see the shiny rub mark on them so j

Welll...no it was not unlocked. I know what that looks like. and it was /is 33MHz and 17MHz when fixed Rx is depressed. This was stable, normally operating in all other senses but wrong frequency. It must have been getting bad selection information out of the band select switch because once

Curt - This just means that the 'low band' VCO is unlocked. The 'low band' VCO covers 14 MHz and down. You should read about 17 MHz rather than 12, which is probably why it's losing lock. If you switch to any of the 'high' bands (21 and up) and depress the FIXED - RCV button you should see

Thanks to several immediate responses: TR& is working again as it should. After checking to be certain that the rig was actually running at 12MHz (it was), I just did a very light application of Deoxit to the band select switches. These were very clean...no hint of the common black oxidati
