Boat anchors apparently aren't the only rigs that are affected by this. It
seems to be generally known with the IC706xxx radios, for example, that if
you have strange problems it's time to tighten the screws down. I (usually)
do this with any radio that I open up to do some work on, no matter how old
(or new) it is.
