Default Thunderstorm noise on SX 100
I need some of the wisdom of the group. I started to have the
thunderstorm crash type of noise on all freq on my SX 100. I know this
is indicative of silver mica disease in the IF's when they have the
embedded mica caps built into the bottom base of the xfmr. Does this
also happen with discrete mica caps in the IF xfmrs like in this rcvr?
Any other ideas on possible causes? Thanks for the help. Mike KF6KXG
