Al, I have had problems with my IC 820H not locking not responding to controls and being intermittent. Problem was traced to several ribbon type cables that interconnect the various boards and switches to the MPU unit. Careful removal and cleaning restored all functions and now has been free of trouble for 2 + years. It has an excellent receiver and very poor control functions. I have found switching between the main and sub bands using the RIT on receive and tuning the transmitter on transmit makes it easy to handle the Doppler on the SSB satellites.
Good luck on getting it back up and working.
