You're right on there Bill. I've been using 2 of them for a LONG time
Thought I'd pass along something I found with my RS-20 that quit on me.
It would start up OK, but as soon as I would hit the transmit button, it
would shut down. Resoldered all the connections, checked the
transistors--everything I could think of but it wouldn't work right. I took
the board out that the caps are connected to and found one of the screws
that held the caps to the board were loose. Re-tightened the screws and it
has been FB ever since. Made my day! 73
