Default What's wrong with my radio?

I pulled my Degen 1102 out of storage, and everything is fine on that
radio. I unplugged my Yaesu and plugged it back in after 15 minutes, and
suddenly it was ok. It is definitely the Yaesu, maybe a corroded
connection. At least I have a backup. But listening to Cuba is
frustrating on the Degen, since the limits of the Degen's circuitry
exacerbate the problems with Havana's audio, making mush out of most of
the broadcast. Tonight they were talking about the secret terror suspect
shuttle service, and how terrible it was that America has 12.5% of its
population living in poverty while the rich build giant shopping malls.


You may want to remove the cabinet screws and get some freeze spray
handy. Next time it happens cool each component one at a time to see
if you can isolate the anomaly.
