Default KWM-2 Motoroboating on Rx Audio

Tnx to all who took the time to voice thier thoughts. I think C106 is the
centre of attention at this time. Guess will have to bite the bullet and
replace the C106 Electrolytic

Hello Collins KWM-2 users:

I've almost got my KWM-2 working again, but noticed a problem that is
eluding me.
The Radio receives "great" with RF Gain turned up, BUT when the Audio
Gain Control is increased the RX audio
starts to Motoroboat , which overrides the incoming audio.
The motoroboating occurs even when the RF gain is turned down and the
audio control is increased.

I suspect this is NOT normal, but have never had a KWM-2 previously.

Can anyone advise if this is "normal"? OR if "not"...has anyone had this
experience and can offer any advise as to
a possiable solution.

Thank You....Norm VE3CZI
