    Channel selector

    It will read 17 but not be on channel. I can mess with the selector a bit and get the channel back, but it's a pain in the arse. Maybe dirty switch, or is the selector burned or wore out on that channel. Does it on the two most used channels, 2 and 17. Any ideas for a do it yourself fix!!
