FYI, Robert I just replace the RF control when I did the SMD Indicator mod. The RF control started to act like a squelch whenever I touched it or bumped it when turning the dial. Had to leave it in it's wide position. After replacing it, things are back to normal. take care -- 73 Fernando N2FQ/NNNØJYM San Jose, CA <http://pages.sbcglobal.net/n2fq>
