[Boatanchors] rme

[Al Parker]

Hi George,
	I can't be much help, I'm afraid, other than offering my condolences. 
I had an RME 4300, back when they were new, and the tuning vernier assy 
was poor.  They revised it slightly for the 4350, but I suspect it 
wasn't much better, the shaft would "brinell" (pit) from the force of 
the balls against it, and make it very jumpy.  RME gave up support for 
the rcvrs not long after they were produced.  I think your only hope is 
to do a mechanical revision to instal a different type of reduction 
mechanism.
	At least the 4350 was double conversion.  The 4300 was single, and had 
terrible images on 10m which was wide open back then.
73,
