[Yaesu] FT1000 Frequency Hopping Problem - HELP!

[Hardy Landskov]

Bruce,
If you have a frequency counter, check the reference oscillator for the
synthesizer to see if it's stable. Try some cold spray on the synthesizer.
If those looks good, it might be better just to plan on replacing the
synthesizer board.
