Copper coat also works well on the adjusters -----Original Message----- From: John Sichert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: January 19, 2004 18:15 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE CUSTOM MVP Ant Relay
Gran, The MASTR IIs had a sensitivity problem that was caused by plating differences between the tuning slugs and the casting. Small hairs would grow inside the deck. I believe the MVP had the same problem. GE sold some black goo that you put on the slugs to improve the continuity. I don't know if it would cause such a drastic sensitivity change, but you might want to rock the slugs to see if the receiver sensitivity jumps. As far as the relay is concerned, I have not worked on that many to know if it is a high failure item.
