If you have a PLL problem you will either hear all CW signals warbly or 
unstable. This instability is caused by poor solder joints on the PLL 
boards. If the PLL is actually not locking, you will get no receive at 
all and the display will spell out, "PLL OUT OF LOCK". A out-of-lock 
condition can be either solder related or it may just need a small 
adjustment to the VCO coil on the offending band.
