Paula, Just to let you know that Rene is not the only wizard at Elecraft
support.  Within a few hours of my e-mail, Howard called back, walked me
through a few tests, and gave some suggestions.   I tightened the screws on
the bottom panel (just like the assembly manual already says to do) and my
intermittent power problems seem to have vanished.  I tend to not
overtighten to avoid stripping threads, but I squinted hard and used my
"screwdriver tight plus a quarter turn" method...  Certainly the folks at
Elecraft continue to be "the best Jerry, the best!"  (from Seinfeld...)
