[Yaesu] FT-890 MIND OF IT's OWN

[Dave Jordan]

Hi FOlks,

I just got off the phone with a ham friend that owns a FT-890.  He had
it on
this morning and all was well...he went out to the store for some odds
and ends and when he returned to his radio room the FT-890 was acting
wierd.
It was doing the following:

- Continuousely scanning frequencies.
- Shift lamp lit and would not go out.
- Locked in general receive mod
- TX clarifier lamp lit
- Will not allow automatic selection of any  bands.
- No panel buttons responding.

He has powered the unit off and back on several times with no change in
symptoms.

He's bringing his radio over tomorrow.  Would appreciate any thoughts
from the list ASAP.  I'll be most appreciative of comments from Yaseu
Tech. Support early next week.

HAVE FUN,
dave
