No, you just have to "Break them in right".  A short time after I was married
(1972) I acquired an SRR-13 receiver.  I cleaned the modules with 409, rinsed
them in the dishwasher and baked them in the oven. At that time she wasn't yet
sure what an oven was for ;-) She's never complained about it since.
Incidentally, that was WELL before the advent of the Internet and this mail
list, so I guess some of us go "wa aaay" back. This was "SOP" for the KWM-2A
transceivers we had in Greece and Turkey (USAF).
