Repaired a couple of damaged ICs and a dead 5 V regulator and returned
the SIW lowfer to operation yesterday. Just in time for 50+ mph winds.
Saw dropouts and glitches overnight in slash mode at 185.185 kHz but
currently the QRSS30/60 at 185.2993 kHz looks fine. Tried aluminum foil
inside the box lid in an attempt to reduce the bottoming out of dashes
in slash mode. That didn't help and may well have been detuning the
variometer as the winds howled and causing the glitches. So it's been
removed.
