While Planning Lunch the Brain Comes Up With a Theory About a Chronic Technical Problem
It's been several months that we here at KDX Worldround Radio have been at times annoyed by the C.Crane Radio Plus when the volume level drops in half and pops back on by jiggling the volume control but doesn't always pop back and sometimes it pops back without touching the radio.
What I've all of a sudden realized is that the radio never flakes out when tuned to the Ramsey FM30b Transmitter nor the AMT3000 transmitter.
It's the C.Crane FM2 Transmitter that jumps in level at odd intervals.
The C.Crane FM2 was one of those discounted deals which had been returned by a previous customer.
It was Mark who said, back when we made the choice to save $10, that he would have preferred a new unit.
Now I'm thinking the FM2 has a cable problem or a cold solder on the circuit card or some contagious disease that might depopulate the entire midwaste of the Homeland.
Later tonight or tomorrow or the next day or this coming weekend I'll run left/right tones through the transmitter and study it while poking here and there with a toothpick to see if anything is loose.
If I was working for an employer they would think I was too slow for taking months to come up with these ideas, but being self employed I can afford to be tolerant.
