I have a scanning issue with my FT-8800. Can anyone help?
I'm unable to receive any signal on two programmed frequencies in one of my banks. Just two! It doesn't matter if these two frequencies are split between A and B side or both on the A or B side. If I stop the scanning on either of the two frequencies, I can hear radio traffic when it's being broadcast. When scanning, I cannot.
This has only just now started to occur and is currently intermittent. Does anyone know what the issue could be?
I know it's not the programming. I haven't touched anything on it since it was last programmed it about three years ago and have been receiving broadcasts up until now.
It isn't the antenna because I was able to carry a conversation on simplex between where I live to a station up in the Tahoe area. Weak signal, of course, but we were able to converse and understand each other.
I haven't done a full reset on the radio as yet. Do you think that may help resolve the issue I'm describing?
Any recommendations? Suggestions? Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
