It sounds like the battery is marginal. Do a reset (A=B plus turn-on) and
see if it corrects the problem. If so the battery is on it's way out.

It's not a PLL problem.

I havent used my TS440S/AT in some time and turned it on last night. I
just
keept beeping and the display lit up segments that were not numbers, so I
quickly turned it off and made sure it was not keyed or anything else was
amiss externally. I retried t but it did the same thing again. My
suspicion
is that the circuit board battery has finially died? Does this sound like
the result, and how is it replaced? I went to Kenwoods website to check
for a service bulletin but there was none, this is probably covered in the
service manual.
