Thanks Gary and everyone. My request was a last resort before sending it to Microair. I feel the problem will be simple and yes I do have an array of test equipment at home. Regards John From: aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net

I would certainly recommend Rodgers advice. Repairs to these radio's should not be attempted by someone without specialist test equipment and knowledge, just about every aspect of the radio will be controlled by a microprocessor including the display contrast. By the way, the last time I thoug
