Realistic 2042 problem...help

Post by NightProwler »

Hey all, I got a Realistic 2042 here that I had for a long time but recently it started acting weird, On AM mode the squelch does nothing at all and in NFM the squelch is stuck on so I hear no white noise at all, In WFM it works perfectly. This has got me puzzled. Any ideas anyone before I through it in my neighbours hedge :D

Cheers :thumbup:
