I have an old JIL SX-200 (http://www.rigpix.com/miscrx/jil_sx200.htm)
and it worked perfectly until yesterday...
While listening on VHF, all signals disappeared and now I can hear
only white noise.

And suddenly this error message "89APL-E" appeared on the display.
Since then I'm not able to enter any frequency or set the clock.

On the service manual this error "89APL-E" is mentioned and it should
happen when power supply is cut with the scanner switched-off in clock
mode.

Any suggestion for solving this problem on my old dear sx-200?


Thanks in advance,

Wow, it has been a long time since I had my JIL SX-200! I can't
recall if there is a readily accessible "reset" switch, but I would
give that a shot if you can locate it. My JIL SX-400 is still running
great, but a couple of times each year it will lock up and require a
reset, then it comes back to life and continues to scan on.

Good luck with it!
