Hi. Hope this is of help to all you TS-940 and other Kenwood
transceiver owners.
The 940 has a very bad EPROM socket on the main CPU board and this
is the cause of it going crazy. You can try cleaning the socket and
pulling the EPROM in and out, but the problem always seems to
re-appear. Remove the socket and put in a decent one and your
brain dead 940 will never do it again.
Note: this does not apply to the 930 - when that goes crazy it
is the CPU board, but in that case it's all the through holes
that are going dry. The board does not have through plating, mearely
(merely) solder blobs. Re-heat all you can find and you should
recover sanity of the rig........
