I have a OP-Pro on my 1868T. Recently I started having sound drop outs. I would check my cables... nothing. Then I tap the volume knob and it would crackle in and out. I remove the preamp and re-insert it... no good. I tap the knob some more and it goes back to normal. This has happened twice. But the last time I noticed the battery needed replacing.
Is what I am experiencing due to the low battery, or is it a preamp issue requiring a call to the mother ship?
