Did this happen while in service, & if so have you opened up the radio yet? I recently had a VHF MVP's TX suddenly jump up 35 kHz. Turned out the xtal module connector was dirty. At the same time the RX died; that was due to a dirty connector on the IF/detector board, resulting in intermittent 10 V RX OSC voltage. Connectors are becoming quite the weak link in this radio series. Thank goodness for DeOxIt. Bob NO6B
