Calling all SP600 gurus...

[Doug]

Hi Chris and the gang.....check out the HF oscillator and see if it's
putting
out a reasonable level of RF to the first mixer.  Normally, if the turret is
off
on one band, it's off on all of 'em.  Be sure and handle those contacts
carefully....they can be broken.  Watch as the turret turns and see that all

the contacts follow easily and make contact on each band.......and a little
spray cleaner dosent hurt either.

Good luck

Doug, K7YD
