[TenTec] Trouble with Triton IV

[Michael Colvin]

I purchased a Triton IV from eBay recently.  It came with an intermittent
problem in the receiver.  The receiver would suddenly lose RF sensitivity
for no explainable reason.  A little jiggling of parts and checking turned
up a cold solder joint in the ALC/SWR section of the unit. 

Everything worked fine until a week or so later when the receiver suddenly
lost sensitivity in the middle of a QSO.  I went through the same procedure
and have been unable to locate the source of the problem this time.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks
