[TenTec] Scout 555

john...

I have one that does the same thing. It's not the radio, it's the 40  
meter module

I found out by subbing in a different module 40 meter module and lo  
and behold, the problem went away.

I popped the module open and did a quick look, looking for a loose  
ground or other problem. never did find one, so when that module is  
used and during tx, the display rolls...


doesn't seem to effect the quality of the signal, just makes the  
display wobble

   I have a scout that is acting up... with the 3,14 and 28 Mc units  
it works just grand.
But with the 7 Mc unit,  I reads freq' and copies signals just fine.   
When I
go to transmit the freq reads out, goes like it was on a ferris  
wheel.  it just
don't sit still, until I go back to receive..
        Any suggestions ? and which half of the unit is for xmit (the  
xtal for both)
             Thank you     John     looking for help
