10 years ago I had one of these scanners. I got good use of it and it got a bit worn. I stopped using it when I was unable to change the mode from FM to AM. Recently I have wanted to resume scanning. Since the Yupiteru still has a reputation as a really good scanner I bought one on eBay. To my dismay although in apparently really good condition it has exactly the same problem as my old one. A Google search reveals I'm not the only person to encounter this problem: I'm not interested in FM so unless I can fix this the scanner is useless to me.
I think I'm doing the right thing as described below but just in case I recorded a video entitled Yupiteru MVT7100 problems which can be viewed here
I reset the scanner and it says clear
I press the function button followed by the mode button
but the scanner remains on FM![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I need to know whether it's a fault, if so whether it's repairable (and who could do this) or whether I'm doing something wrong
Help or advice appreciated!
