For what is is worth,
MY TR-7 did almost that same thing a few months ago. I primarily use 160 &
80, however decided to bounce up to 20. The display would not lock, there
was no receive. I too switched though all the bands, they worked, but
returning to 20 it still wouldn't lock. I also ran through the bands using
the remote VFO, 20 remained dead.
Powering the rig on and off had no effect.
Other then knowing that I didn't have a fully functioning radio, I wasn't
really troubled. However, next time and since that time, when I checked, 20
is just fine.. I have basically shrugged my shoulders and will worry about
if it becomes a permit issue or other bands start to fail too.
Keeping the list active, thanks to all who contribute!

Subject: [Drakelist] TR7 20m Issue
Since it seems the list is in the summer doldrums.. I'll throw something
out there...
About two weeks ago I found time to hop on the radio.. While tuning
around 20m the band went dead silent (think unplugging the antenna) and
the digital display lost the leading "1" (so instead of 14.150 it was
4.150). I switched through all of the other bands and they were fine
(display displayed properly and noise level was consistent with the band
conditions) but when I switched back to 20m it was still screwed up. I
turned off the radio (waited for the fan to spin down) and when I turned
it back on everything was normal.
Has anyone seen this behavior before and should I be worried about it or
wait until it happens more often?
