> I have the 540 analog Triton IV that has a warble on 80, 40, and 20m on receive. I haven't tried to transmit on these bands yet. The receive sounds just a little shakey; like everyone has a quiver in their voice. It will make received CW signals sound slightly shakey also. It receives and transmits fine on 10 and 15m; although sometimes it will slowly drift off freq a few KC's. It will drift up, then back down. Is anyone familiar with this? This is my first TenTec rig and I really like it, except for the little problem it has. I'd like to correct it and if it is nothing too serious, I could probably fix it with some help to get started. I have access to a oscope, dvm, sig gen, etc. Any help getting me steered in the right direction would be appreciated.   KC4VWU
