I have an R4B that in the last 5 or so years has had what I think is
excessive drift in the S-meter zero. I saw a posting from Garey that
mentioned checking and/or replacing V4 or V5. I checked both and they
had good emission and no shorts. When I first turn on the radio, the
meter reads around S-6 and works its way down to
eventually near S-1 with no antenna. It takes at least half an hour
to get to the S-1 mark. Also if I set the 'meter zero' earlier that
the half hour, Itwill be off if the radio is left on longer. I
suspect the the meter should 'settle down' faster than that. Has
anyone else noticed this problem and what did you do to correct it.
I didn't replace the tubes, and maybe that is my next step.
I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
