Re: PRC320 issues
There's very little spare room in an RT320, so not much space for anything to slide about, however some of the screening can screws can and do come loose.
All the electronics on the main board are attached to the front panel, the amp to the rear. So you remove the rear panel first then pull everything out from the front.
Important - with the set apart DO NOT move the turret switch! It aligns and connects with a switch on the rear panel! If you move it you'll have a hell of a job getting it back together!
Also, always turn the turret (band) switch clockwise - otherwise you risk breaking off the finger contacts in the band turret.
As for noise with a dipole, not come across that before.
Deal with the loose item first before you power the set again - you really dont want to short anything out as the most sensitive devices, the synthesiser dividers, are for all intents and purposes unobtainable, and replacement modules go for a king's ransom these days.
