Hi Arthur. If you are not particularly technical savvy,, I would suggest you find someone local who may be able to assist. When I recieved mine, the Mhz lock light? only operated on the higher bands. The manual is to be found on the net for download. Refer to this for the alignment procedure. The nature of the circuit means that there are some adjustments that will affect the correct operation of the Mhz lock circuitry. In my case, it meant adjusting the setting of the level pot VR102 (page 12).
HOWEVER .. just do not twiddle this and hope for the best if you are not familiar with the operation of the receiver. You could mark the position of the pot? where it is, only then move it back and forth a few times before returning it to the marked position and see what happens. In my case, it was dirty tracks on the pot (similar to a noisy volume control). Worth a try. Also, as part of the alignment procedure, there are a couple of other? adjustments which can affect the operation of that circuitry. Again, in any case, ask around at your local radio club or some place that may be able to point you toward some assistance. These receivers are fun to use and seem pretty robust.
