Gene,

If the other bands work normally does it transmit on 20 Meters ?
If so maybe the receiver band pass filter is in trouble. 
If no transmit on 20 meters then likely the VCO trimmer is going bad. I have seen the 761 loose some frequency coverage and still operate ok on the other frequencies the trimmer covers. Eventually the frequency range for that trimmer will go away if that is the trouble.
