Has the radio been sitting unplugged for a long period? If so , plug
it in for a few days and see if that will bring it back to life.
I had a similar problem on my R-5000 and that was the fix. No
further problems after 7 or 8 years.
Regards

Bob

Hello ,

I have troubles with my Kenwood TS-450-SAT . When i power on the

transceiver
i get a cw code and in stead of the frequency i get dots on the screen .
Also i can't receive or transmit .
Anyone know this problem ? Can't find this problem in the manual .

I found something : " The row of dots on the main display indicates that a
PLL is out of
lock " .
I think i need the service manual .

Hi Bob ,

What do you mean with a long period ? I didn't used the transceiver for
about 1 month .

Kurt

Kurt: I had gone on holidays for about 3 weeks and disconnected
antenna and power. When I powered it up all I got was a line of dots
and no audio. I called a few dealers but none were familiar with the
problem.
Next day I turned it on and I got audio for about one minute but
as soon as I turned the volume up more than half way the dots
reappeared and the audio was dead. Another day went by and I tried
again. This time the radio stayed on and would work normally but an
increase in volume knocked it out again.
On the third day it worked normally and has ever since. I do not
unplug it except briefly to move it from one spot in the house to
another.
I have no idea why this glitch happened.
Hope yours responds as easily.
Regards, Bob
