> My TM-255A, which has led a sheltered and gentle life in the shack, has a 
> power-up issue. If it is left unplugged overnight, it powers up with no 
> problems. If I try to power it back on after turning it off, it will not 
> power up. It also seems that if it is left a power source (i.e., power 
> applied to the power leads, but radio turned off), it will not power back 
> up until it has had a period of time completely off the power supply.

> The issue does not appear to be related to the connection between the 
> radio's control head and chassis.
>
> Any thoughts welcome.

> If there isn't a DIY solution, does anyone have recommendations for anyone 
> still servicing these radios? I'm assuming that Kenwood wouldn't touch it
