December 4th, I was not able to pickup 10B on a Denon RCD-M40 in Manchester M23. After days I was finally able to pick up 12C, including BBC Radio Manchester after a retune - that's when I lost 10B - Panacea, Africana, Cosoro etc.

Sorry for the delayed response. It won't be problems as different multiplexes in the area come from a couple of different transmitters. 10B (Trial Manchester) is on a transmitter of its own

Apparently this particular model seems to have had a number of problems with tuning according to information I turned up on a quick search. Dry joints on the circuitry is one suggestion that seems to be a cause.

Apart from doing the obvious, check your is still intact and any downlead is secure an OK, check all the aerial connections.

Try a full reset of the device. If it's internal dry joints, try a sharp tap of the unit. I saw one suggestion that said make sure it wasn't full of dust - blow it all through. Another said use a hairdrier to warm up all the circuit boards and connections - I'm assuming this would cause joints to expand and maybe connect if dry!! BUT caution, make sure things don't get excessively hot.

Other than that, it's a case of see what a repair would cost - don't know who your original supplier was - I think Richer Sounds sell them and may have a decent repair team. OR replace it with a new box! Sorry can't be more helpful.
