Yupiteru Woes

[airsicksteve]

On the eve of clear Summer skies, my scanner. - a Yupiteru MVT-7100 - has stopped receiving.

It still makes a click/hiss noise when switched on, although the screen remains blank and frequencies are not visibly displayed, nor audibly received. The light still illuminates the screen, but still shows no data.

I'm a bit stumped and am reluctant to pay for an engineer to tell me it's past its shelf-life.

Anyone else had the same problems and/or can suggest a cheap fix?

Any advice appreciated.  If not inappropriate, any offers for the scanner for spares - including two extendible metal aerials - gratefully accepted!!

Thanks

Steve

Steve, it's way above my level of knowledge but might it be worth calling or emailing the store you bought it from and just seeing whether they can shed any light on the problem?

Just me being a tightwad, Graham. Thanks, but it's ages old and bought from a Bournemouth supplier long since departed. A suitable candidate for the skip I fear.
