[Kenwood] Ts 180s : Faulty Frequency Readout

[budgarside at juno.com]

Hi Peadar,
I have seen this symptom many times, the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) has
unlocked and will need repair. This is usually a repair shop item, but if
you feel confident in your ability to track & troubleshoot electronic
circuits - go for it! You will need the service manual to aid you in the
job. Good luck in your project, 73!
