[K3PZN-List] broke radio

[J Sears]

Yes  look W5ZHI and email him.. I think it is w5zhi at comcast.net.  I have known this gentleman since 1970 .. he has repaired several of my radios when I did not have time to mess with them.. he used to be a resident of MD (W3GBE) and is an excellent tech.I believe his prices are pretty fair and he will tell you ahead of time his hourly rate.
 
If you need it I can pave the way with a telephone call

I tend to agree with Jeff that repair of this may be more costly than what you paid for the rig.   (I don't necessarily agree with his thought that domestic is always better - in general they have priced themselves out of the lower cost rig market.  I do confess to owning one domestic and one far east rig - I am happy with both of them).  
 
I presume you mean the unsettling noise is on receive?  
 
It is important to rule out the power supply, to insure it is not at fault.  Checking its output voltage with the rig on receive, and (briefly) on transmit may tell you if it might be at fault.  
 
email me direct also as needed.

Hello everyone 

Ray here (kb3vwk) well my 200$ Yasue ft 840 that I bought in June died during the cw contest tonight.  I was wondering if anyone could offer a good repair company.  It won't transmit and there was lots of unsettling electrical noises.  So time to unplug and regroup and ship out. 

regards ray
