[Heath] SB301 / 401 Transceive operation AGC

[WB4LNM at aol.com]

I have just finished putting all new electrolytic caps and tubes and  
resistors where needed in a set of SB301 / 401 twins for the local  University 
radio club.  The tune up went fine, and the audio really sounds  excellent.
 
The set has only been operated a couple of times on the air since then, and 
 it probably sat for 4-5 years with no operation before my refurbishment.   
My sense is that *occasionally* the AGC in the receiver is slow to  recover 
after coming out of transmit.  Not always, but sometimes.  
 
Since there are many aficionados of this fine transmitter-receiver pair on  
the list, I thought before probing I'd first ask for any 'frequently made  
repairs' in the AGC if this is a common symptom.  No need reinventing the  
wheel.  Perhaps I just need to get in and clean the relay contacts or  
something.  The AGC seems to work nicely otherwise, including the off /  fast / 
slow switch.  
 
Many thanks for your time in reading this and for your responses.   73
