[Yaesu] Intermittent deaf receiver/no RF out FT-890AT

[Bill Lovell]

At wit's end with this.

The FT-890AT will be cruising along, then suddenly the receiver will go deaf and the rig will not transmit. Just when I think it's a "permanent" condition --- permanent enough to send off for service -- the thing will spring back to life and works perfectly...and sometimes wait a few days before it happens again.

When "dead" it does receive on broadcast band AM, and receives and transmits fine on FM. But SSB and CW, nada.

Anybody ever have this happen and find a solution?
