Question

ref: YAESU FT 102 TRANSCEIVER[1] My bias normally between 75 - 85 ma begins to creep up after a few minutes of operating, using push to talk. On ceasing speaking and listening, it is OK but on the next over it begins to creep up again.[2] Problems with the VOX. On speaking VOX comes in normally but will not drop out. Continues with a sort of "motor-boating" with fluctuating grid current until VOX GAIN is reduced to zero. Then starts all over again until I revert to PTT.Any advice will be appreciated bearing in mind I have artritic hands and am reluctant to delve into the innards with a soldering iron.John VK2GQK
