Yes:  "dirt"
Clean every connection.
I used a pencil eraser on the contact pins, then cleaned them with isopropyl
alcohol.

When I bought my Scout used, several of the modules did not work at all and
a couple wore intermittent.  Now they all work.

Subject: [TenTec] Common Band Module Problems?

I've got a couple of Scout band modules that aren't working and I wondered
if there are any common problems I should look at first.  By way of an
example, I used to repair Macintosh Plus computers at work and I always
looked at two places on the power supply board first.  99 times out of 100
the problem was a cracked solder joint at one of those two locations. Is
there anything like that I can look for first?

Thanks and 73,

Jock N1JI
