SUCCESS!!!!

I have replaced both IC’s and now the channel spacing is correct to whatever setting I select on every band!!!
Here's my fully controllable frequency coverage now in the slow position:-
Band
1. 4.800 - 36.795
2. 30.000 - 67.595
3. 60.000 - 135.195
4. 120.000 - 270.395
5. 240.000 - 540.795
Channel spacing set to 5khz just to emphasise it's now working. Also at any point if I press the step up down switch I only have to press it once now for it to change the display and it works properly in both up and down and changes display correctly. The fine tune when selected via the int switch position is still making the led display just constantly cycle in a loop making the 3/4 digits towards the end of the number unreadable so that bit still not working by looks of it. But what a great bit of progress to fix the frequency spacing, thankyou ever so much Paula, Peter your knowledge on these is amazing and really appreciate your time in helping me get this far. Hopefully we have now crested the hill and are on the home run!! 👍
