PRO34.9 I suggested that a ground connection or a circuit board in his PRO-34 might be loose. The thin PRO-34 plastic case feels chintzy, and can flex easily by applying just a gentle squeeze. After prolonged use, the case motion can loosen screws which were once tight. Ron disassembled his PRO-34. He unfastened the helical antenna, knobs, and rear screws, then gingerly removed the plastic case. After Ron tightened a Phillips screw holding the Logic Board to the front of the case, the birdie disappeared forever! The operation took a steady hand. Although he didn't have to remove any boards, Ron warned that accessing the offending screw was a challenge. He used a very small Phillips screwdriver, positioned through a hole in a shield partition. -- Bob Parnass AJ9S, AT&T Bell Laboratories - att!ihuxz!parnass - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I haven't tried this, proceed at your own risk WA2ISE. continued in file pro34.4
