It could be that when you replaced some of the caps in the remote, you detuned it.
I am pretty sure it has not been detuned, I only did a large paper and a metal electrolytic in the hand unit, none of the smaller ceramic caps, and in the chassis, just a few .1s and .01s here and there. It basically didn't work at all before I did the hand unit caps. Now it works pretty good except needs really strong and close remote signal.
I don't have the mike plugged in. Some dude in Brazil said I may have leakage between the 180v and the mike plug, so I am going to just snip the wire at that point and see what I read, the mike socket may just be leaking or something. Thanks...Frenchy
