Although I was able get the TX running again by merely doing a small twist to all the TMP connectors that were reachable with top cover removed and behind the front panel, unable to bring back the receiver front end on 40 m. I hear noise and very weak signals but nothing like the normal band noise and a hot receiver previously.
Now wondering if another part of the radio (tmp connectors) needs a small twist to break up oxidation. Not clear as to why just one band is affected. Any thoughts from this great resource?
