The row of dots on the main display indicates that a PLL is out of
lock..First, don`t attempt to repair the radio without an original
service manual as it has colored coded voltage readings for rec and
transmit etc..a copy will not show that..To repair this Kenwood is a
pretty ambitious undertaking, if you have multi-layer circuit board
experience down to the component level,and if you have a good source
of Japanese replacement parts,and if you have micro-minature un-solder
and re-solder tools and skills, then you have about 50/50 chance of
being of making the necessary repairs..to make a long story short,send
it to a cetified Kenwood service station.. Good Luck W4PQW
