My R71A just died below 7998.0 - completely dead air! Above that freq is
just fine. Anyone know what might have caused this? I seem to remember
once
someone told me something about a 'paper' something that might go bad and
have to be changed to ceramic. Can someone fill me in please? Is this
expensive? Are there directions somewhere on the net? The problem seems to
be intermittent - comes and goes, abnormal static, then it went dead. Any
help/suggestions greatly appreciated!



It shouldn't cost much if you find a competant repair person. It sounds like
a bad conection in the RF deck.
