Sent mine back to Ten Tec and they replaced the crystal oven with a TCXO. Common replacement.
The 20 MHz TCXO or crystal oven oscillator is used as the reference oscillator for the VFO PLL system and for all of the band select VCXOs. If the problem is only on one band, it is perhaps possible that something about the amplitude or phase noise from the 20 MHz reference might cause a problem only with the 30 Meter VCXO and not with any other bands. Seems a lot more likely that the problem is in the 30 meter VCXO, than in the reference oscillator though.
