Status: offline 		The other night I went to look for my hitec spectra pro module. I needed 72 mhz to help a kid with his trainer. Opened up my tool box and couldn't find the thing. I looked and looked, then finally I came to the conclusion that it was gone, so I ordered a new one. Tonight I was out in the garage and noticed the lid of my tool box was just sitting on the stool. The lid has covered trays that I keep little things in.....one item being a strong magnet that I use to find various things that might be dropped in the grass. I just happened to pick up the magnet and heard something fall to the floor. My Spectra Pro module!!!!! ahhha. It was stuck to the bottom of the lid. Perfect!!! So I guess the question is, did this strong magnet damage the module? If not I may sell the one I just bought on eBay. If so then I will leave the magnet out of my tool box. Any thoughts, radio gurus?

in inductive permeability and then the receiver is out of tune. Just a theory though , maybe the shock theory is the more
plausible one, did you check your xtal?
