BC246T Func Button...

[Otto]

So I have a BC246T that is about a year and half old. Now lately, the Func button has become hard to push to get it engaged, and to get it to select. It does make a click sound, but does not "engage" into the func mode unless I push really hard on the button. Are there any other 246 users that are having similar problems? I am pretty sure that the radio is out of warranty, so ....

Is this a common repair? Is it a repair that I could do myself? Is it something I could just clean with some contact cleaner, or something similar?

I dont use the button much, because I pretty much listen to one section of the trunked system anyways, but I dont want it to get worse...

I've not experenced that problem, but I think if you opened the case and cleaned the contact or re-seated the rubber over the switch it may solve the problem, if you are ok with doing that sort of thing.
