Who can I send this to for repairs?
 

Got an FRG-7700 with a wonky PLL. Don't have the equipment to fix it. Anyone
know a good tech I can ship it to for work? Used to be that if I left it on
so it stayed warm, it would lock OK and no noise. From a cold start, it
would crackle like crazy. I tracked it down to the PLL. Now, however, it's
just all noise all the time, and no PLL lock.

Try bridging the caps with fresh ones.

BA. take a look at eHam. there is a listing on repairs/techs.
some only do certain brands, makes, and models. shipping is
gonna be the killer. good luck.

Hmmm, not sure what you would need besides a 'scope, a DMM and a fifty
buck frequency counter.
