[ARC5] 10 meter BC-454 - instability possibly found

[John Hutchins]

Ken -

May I suggest this, in the BC-348 IF cans they use spring steel wire, 
grounded,  to apply pressure to the ferrite core adjustment screw.  I am 
thinking of a dipper pin to test this out as a possible solution.  IF 
this works the I ma sure someone on the list may know of a source for 
the spring metal needed to make a retainer spring?   Many thanks for the 
updates on your progress, I have learned a lot.
