Hi Guys,
I took care of the hum in the radio but a new glitch cropped up. The radio motorboats unless I keep my hand on the antenna leads. Then it gets less noticeable or goes away entirely on some frequencies. If I can take care of that I am just about home. Any suggestions? As always- thanks for your help! - Rob
