Try it and see, can't hurt (of course, if you do find that to help,
mitaswell go do all the other board screws, too  ;o) As I mentioned in my
earlier post on the 120/130 reflector, if you have a sound card and an
audio spectrum analyzer program such as CoolEdit, that can really help you
see exactly what's going on, way easier than simply tuning back and forth
across the calibrator signal.
