Something to pay attention to:
While examining the unit I noted that there was poor to no DC resistance
between case sections.? This happens with painted cases but it also
means assumed grounded items like heatsink or front panel are floating
for RF.? ?This can be a potential cause of unwanted receiver noises or even
transmitter instability.
Before I power it up I will clean the affected areas of paint so the
screws can do their job in ensuring all section are grounded.
