I have a TS-830 with a couple of problems:
Intermittent on the bandswitch- The 17 meter position on the bandswitch is 
dead after first turning on the radio. After about five minutes, if I click 
the bandswitch back and forth, it will make contact, but it seems like it is 
not fully making contact. After about five minutes more it returns to 
normal. Any suggestion for fixing this problem?
I have a carrier on my ssb signal. I have read the section in the manual 
about adjustment of the carrier balance, but the radio seems to think it is 
balanced(no deflection on the meter in ssb with no audio)  ( on USB the 
carrier is down the band. On LSB, the carrier is up the band) Any 
suggestions for this problem? I have tried adjusting the Carrier Oscillator 
with the adjustments on the bottom of the radio (PLL board) using Rich 
Measures suggestion-employing the calibrator
Thanks for any suggestions offered.
Scott C.
