Chuck -

Does Tom's kit include C192?  I think it does.  If not ....

Also D16.

And with the erratic operation, solder joints on C190, etc. Tough places to solder.

My R4B crystal calibrator has been acting erratically.

Often does not function until the R4B has been on for 20 minutes or so.
When I first turn on the calibrator function, I can initially hear it for maybe 100msec, but it does not stay in oscillation. And when it's being persnickety, when it does stay in oscillation, it doesn't sound like a clean sine-wave.

Last night it was acting like this. But just now, it was fine. Came up right off, sounded fine, and was working OK on 15 meters (didn't try 10 meters).

I recently did the Hayseed re-capping, so C190 was replaced, and after the recapping it seemed to really help the crystal calibrator function, as it was much worse before the recapping.

What else might I check ? I see the calibrator circuitry on the schematic. My scope is still down for repairs.
