Re: [TenTec] Trouble with Triton IV

I'd use contact cleaner on the little slide switch on the rear panel. 
It may be marked REC-XCV or something like that but it is to enable 
your use of a second receive antenna.
If that didn't work, I'd replace the diodes which are back-to-back 
across the receive antenna input.
