Component failure may have cause the IF freq. to shift off of the correct
freq.

Thanks Honest John,


Well, the scanner is still displaying, responding to calls, and giving low
audible output. But if your theory is correct, I'm screwed:-(...I won't
give up hope...I am going to try the pot and hope like heck that is all it
is.
I would fare better off buying a new one if I had the problem you described.
Thanks for the input and let's hope for non-failure of component/s:-)

regards,


Allen

Try hanging a 47k resistor between the high end and the center pin of
the pot and keep the pot about at the center. It's not a fix, but if
it works a little, you know the pot is shot (open on the high end).
You wouldn't be happy spending $15 for a pot to discover that it's not
the pot that's the problem.
