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)
