Hi Bob I put the panel on and the RX was at 48uA and the TX was at 40uA so I put the RX at 40uA. The RX light came back on and it working good for now. I will check it in the morning to see if it is good. Thanks Bob

They should be in the TRANSIT or LOCKED position if/when the station is moved. This won't affect the problems your having, but it will allow the VCOs to pick up noise from anything mechanical outside the station, like fans or rotating machinery. The control tray should be slightly warm. Heat would be generated on the IPA/REG board in the center rear; nothing else should create noticeable heat. The only item that needed the fan was the PA/PS assembly at the top. The fans were usually mounted between those and the control tray.
