John -
Here are the symptoms mine had. Once it warmed up there was a frequency
jump on CW send and receive. It jumped for a split second and then
jumped back. It was like a short chirp on both transmit and receive.
It was worst on 40m where it happened every 2 seconds. It took 10
seconds on 80 and 20.
Sent it to Ten Tec abd they put in the TCXO in place of the oven.
