Eberline RO-2s

[ausbrookskl@ornl.gov (Kelly L. Ausbrooks)]

Radsafers,
	Recently we have had some trouble with our RO-2s.  After a desicant change
and baking as the factory instructed, we had the instrument re-calibrated.
All was well for a while, but now we are experiencing the same problem, not
holding zero on the 50 and 5 scales.  We feel this is leakage current
caused by chamber moisture.  Desicant looks fine.  We do have some high
humidity here, but if the chamber is isolated by the desicant this
shouldn't be a problem.  We are letting the instruments stabalize for ~10
minutes before setting zero.
	Has anyone had this type of problem?  If so, what did your group do to
resolve it.  Any advice will be appreciated.  Don't think this is worth
cluttering RADSAFE, so please send your reply directly to me.  Thanks in
advance.
