[BC] In search of Harris SX1

[Mike McCarthy]

I think that applies to many TX's these days.  The parts variations and 
configurations used across the two octaves of the AM band are quite diverse.

I used a NA to fine tune one of my SX-5's after one of the C-1 door knobs 
failed.  Let me tell you it was 4 hours of fun.  But we did get it nailed 
and found and cured a few others things going on in the process.  The box 
is still not operating right.  But we KNOW the output network is where it 
belongs.
