Sounds like switches and connectors all over need quarter drops of DeoxIT applied. Not sprayed. And board grounding screws need to be tightened.

Nothing that I have heard.  I just like to have everything working.  I was

hoped to hear something but never did.

I did get it to work, but it's still a little flaky.  I guess the crystal still 
isn't making a very good connection into the socket.  I tried to re-clean the 
crystal leads and socket several times but it still isn't 100% working solid.  
*drives me crazy*.  The SWR meter also  lays dead quite a bit unless a strong 
signal pops it back to life or I switch filtering which I guess is also related 
to it receiving a signal stronger.  *THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY TOO*  neither of 
which is probably just cause to send it in for repair though.

thanks for asking.
