I had no response to my first message so I thought I'd try again.

I have a question for the group.  I have I Scout -- bought it
new in the Fall of '96.  I really like the little rig -- worked Asiatic
Russia on it QRP last week -- but it changes frequency slightly if I touch
anything on the front panel -- like the earphone plug.  I recall reading
something a while back about a PC board flexing and changing the freq. 
Does anyone recall the fix for this or have any input?

Thanks,

Jake  [N4UY]    Vienna, VA (Washington DC suburbs)
