[BC] Problems that make you want to scream!

It very well could be that, but give me about another hour and that receiver will be removed to go 
back to the shop! I'm dropping in a replacement receiver tonight. I just finished retuning the 
replacement transmitter I put in yesterday, It was slurring SSes! really bad so I looked and saw the 
deviation was +-120Khz.. I figured that was a bit much. (this was a working STL a few years ago 
under the care of another engineer. It appears he retuned it with out the aid of proper test 
equipment) It was only making 2W when I turned it on. So now I've got it modulating 43 Khz at +8 db 
so I think it might sound a bit better on the air. This is an AM so I turned off the preemphsis as 
well.  Next step is to go swap the receivers.
