[AMRadio] Bugged by CW?

[rbethman]

Bob,

Not only a "proper" alignment, BUT take a good look at those "funky" 
coaxial connectors all over the board.

I cleaned them carefully.  It made a significant difference too!  Don't 
go "too" crazy with De-Oxit.  I've got a De-Oxit pen, and use it *VERY* 
carefully.  I used a series of "Q" tips to clean their sockets/female ends.

I've gotten the R-2000 sensitivity down to the point that it "hears" the 
leakage from the SG without being connected to it.
