[Elecraft] T-1 tuner stopped tuning

[Don Wilhelm]

Linas,

It sounds like a microprocessor problem, but I can't be sure.
Do you know of any locals who also has a T1 and would be willing to try 
swapping the microprocessor?

It may be heplful to contact Elecraft support even though you may not 
want to send it in for repair.

73,
