SB-102 - more troubles

[Brian Wood]

Well, the S-meter is now working great! The final solution was to flip the
mode switch to CW and back to USB, which means the switch was dirty. I now
am getting fine readings on band noise and signals of various strength.

However, another problem has surfaced. Now, as I tune across the band, I
find it hard to tune a signal in because it "warbles" as I get close. I have
to move the dial back and forth near the signal until it stabilizes. Since
the LMO is a preassembled solid-state one, I am hesitant to open it up. I
suppose the dial could be slipping a little and I will check this as soon as
I can, although visually it seems OK. Before I dig into it, I thought I'd
check to see if anyone on the list has seen this same problem.

The dial calibration is also off pretty far - with the calibrator on, I have
to move the hairline about 1/2" to the right. The upper dial is off too,
which I recall being a typical issue with SB/HW-10x rigs. But they don't
seem to change with use, so I don't really think they are slipping.
