[TenTec] Dirty PS connectors

[Ten-Tec Inc. Amateur Radio Sales]

Several requests were sent to us over the weekend about obtaining
DeoxIT DN5.   Caig Laboratories (the manufacturer of DeoxIT) has 
distributors nationwide - they can be reached by telephone at (800) 
224-4123 from 8 am - 4 pm Pacific or via email at caig123@caig.com.
Their website at http://www.caig.com also has extensive information
on DeoxIT and a host of other related products that they manufacture.

>Generally, when a rig is here for trade-in or service and acting flaky due 
>to a possible power supply issue, one of the first things our techs will do 
>is clean out the power supply connectors on the end of the PS cable 
>and/or the one panel mounted inside the radio.  It's amazing how many 
>radios will spring back to from life from "dead" or erratic just by doing 
>this.  We use DeoxIT DN5 spray cleaner for this purpose - it's not 
>cheap but it works great.
