Hallo
I am a relatively newbie, I used this scanner to listen to air transmissions when going to airports and airshows, but it had been sleeping in a cupboard for years. I started taking lessons of air radio transmission, and I wanted to practice a bit with real air "quality", so I fished it out, but it no longer works. I read several people having "keyboard issues" so I opened it to clean the keypad, but the situation did not improve.
What surprised me was that trying to measure the resistance of the pads, I cannot measure anything, which of course would justify the issue, but this is true also for the few keys that work... Any ideas about a solution? I am considering replacing the pads (although they are very thin, so it could be difficult to keep the total thinkers down), but I have some doubts the issue might be on the card side. Also, are spare parts still available somewhere?
Thanks in advance
Maurizio
