[Fox_Tango] FT-101EE (receive drops out)

[Davis_R]

Mike,

Dennis and Al have given you good leads.  Another possibility is that the
band crystal is "fainting".  If their advice doesn't pan out, try tweaking
the ceramic trimmer capacitor for the band that is fainting.  That might
pull it right in.
