Hi all.

Wonder if anyone can help please? I have just bought a Yaesu FT-107M HF Transceiver which was working fine when I picked it up. However on arriving home I switched it on and the frequency readout is showing 95.xxx.x and appears to be floating around. If I switch to memory mode it shows approximately the band selected and the receiver comes up but switching back to the VFO returns it to the spurious readings and no receive. I wonder if anyone has any idea what could have happened please on the journey from Oxford to Doncaster? The rig was transported right way up and there were no incidents on the journey home.

Sorry but I'm not an electronics expert and am at a loss as to what's happened or where to look for the problem.
Also can anyone recomend someone to take a look at it for me as I really want to use this rig.

Many thanks for any help offered.

Julian.
