:mad:

You could always ask Lam Communications to look at it.

I had a Kenwood TS850 repaired at Castle Electronics and I can recommend them. Their hourly rate is not cheap but they put the radio right again. I got an invoice showing exactly what parts had been replaced and how many hours where spent on the repair. The parts cost a few quid, its the labour charges that are the big hit in the wallet, but I recon you pay for what you get.

great didnt know lams did repairs .. ok well i will start ringing the numbers tommorow any more info will be appreciated

cheers

Pete

Castle Electronics are good but not cheap.Whats the problem with it maybe we could help..

Hi
Here goes ..

on boot up the main vfo flashes ..

this happend a couple of weeks ago after the radio got a slight knock ... i must say it was very slight ... i took the top and bottom covers off the case refitted them and all was well untill Friday ... came back into the shack and the vfo display was just flashing at me. ive reset rebooted taken battery out all the usual but nothing want to clear it ... i must say the last tine this happend i touched the top case i heard a click and it burst into life ,, this makes me think that it is somthing small but im not sure ????
