Sounds like switches and connectors all over need quarter drops of 
DeoxIT applied. Not sprayed. And board grounding screws need to be 
tightened.

I tried to re-clean the crystal leads and socket several times but it still isn't 100% working solid.  *drives me crazy*.  The SWR meter also  lays dead quite a bit unless a strong signal pops it back to life or I switch filtering which I guess is also related to it receiving a signal stronger.  *THIS DRIVES ME CRAZY TOO*  neither of which is probably just cause to send it in for repair though.
