I've got a drake 2-B receiver and was wondering if the receiver should be powered down when pulling or replacing or moving the xtals? |

In the end, I switched to an unused band thinking that probably removed any xtals from any circuit then swapped them around. |

The safest thing is to power the radio down, but chances are your procedure is OK, too. Be careful of possible high voltages inside the radio. 73 Martin AA6E |

Under what circumstance is the need to keep it powered up? Turn it off! And, unplug it. Why find out the hard way if there is anything to be discovered? |

@N1CZ That's why I asked here. But you'll notice nobody replied for two weeks. If you feel the need to chastise someone then get on it in a couple days and don't wait two weeks! Thanks! |
