Try this first:

They don't like to be unplugged. I have found by running the
internal vfo from end to end and programming to the memory then back
into ext a few times will unconfuse it.

When power is lost, the VFO forgets what model it's plugged into.
You can supply 3.5 - 5 v to the memory line with a cordless phone
battery to fix that. A diode across a limit resistor will keep the
battery trickle charged and keep the memory for a day.

If you can't get it to work I can take care of it in California and
do the mod.
