Excellent advise from Ken Brown!!

Both to fix it yourself and learn, or keep the rig and have Ten Tec go 
thorough it.  Many things can fail in shipping a rig back from any 
manufacturer.  It could be as simple as a bad connection, or it could be 
failed component or just drift in the calibration pot setting, maybe 
from a jar in shipping.  Good ideas Ken has also, on using a known good 
receiver as a frequency counter and how to couple to the BFO oscillator.

With most hams having a couple digital readout rigs, you have the 
makings of a perfectly satisfactory for ham purposes, frequency 
measuring set up, if one of the radios is a general coverage receiver.
