Someone brought me a Galaxy 73V that has seen it's share of duty from it's looks. Although it transmits and recieves just fine, it keeps on changing channels on me.
It has that 3 position switch with channel 6, 19, 21 and the one next to it that says fixed, off, and 10khz. If I am correct the fixed means it stays on 6, 19, or 21 depending on what is selected, Off means off, hence normal operation, 10Khz is 10Khz jump (up one channel basically).
Why is it that when I am using the radio in OFF it still switches back to 6, 19, 21 depending on which one is selected?
I have to key the mic to go back to the channel I wanted it on. Then within a second or two, it switches again, back to 6, 19, or 21 WTF?
I thought maybe the switch was messed up but it appears to be okay. It jumps in 10khz and stays fixed on 6, 19, or 21 in fixed mode. Just doesn't appear to be working right in normal mode. Is this perhaps a botched modification somewhere?
Where should I look?
Thanks guys
