RE: Electron 6 strange quirk
Electron 6 receiver #2 died completely yesterday at the Tullahoma S.M.A.L.L. fly-in! It's in my Gyrator and has performed flawlessly for the 25 or 30 flights it has on it. I bought it new a little over 2 yrs. ago and it's never been crashed, just hangs from the ceiling except for special events.
It did fail in the best way possible however: I started and ran up the engine, set the needle and checked the idle and mid-range....shut everything down, refueled and when I turned the radio back on, nada, zip, zero....nuttin' at all! I'm thinkin' I ain't buying any more of those! I will check the crystal before condemning the rcvr. I'll send it back and see what they'll do for me. Probably nothing.
