Any thoughts or suggestion on where I can go to find out the source of the static, as it is really bad.

Thanks, I reseated the boards after giving them a good spray cleaning and found the hiss and static problems have gone-completely gone. Seems as if the sensitivity is more acute now. Anyway, it was a good idea, and thanks guys.

Same here - I just removed the boards and sprayed all the sockets with Servisol and it's like a different RX. No hiss and S/N ratio is amazing!
