Also keep in mind the transmitter also distorts when first turned on.
But not like it did last night

The audio started cracking, until the point where it was unlistenable.
It sounded like listening to an AM station off frequency, but no matter how I tuned the radio, the audio stayed the same.
it was about 1.2 C outside when this happened. 34.8 F

I fiddled with the modulation control, compression and gain. Not one of them did a darned thing.
After a last attempt I carefully smacked the SSTran on the window seal (or whatever you call it), and poof the audio returned to normal.

This could be a cold solder, but the SSTran didn’t always do this.
It didn’t start hating cold until lightening zapped it a year ago
(its since been fixed)
