[Earl Needham]

The 430 has a nice quiet receiver, too. I'd say have it repaired.

I love the 430.  I have a ic-706 and use the 430 for contesting.  Good old
solid rig.

Old radios should never die!

I've never sent a radio in for repair in my life, and this one is so old,
probably bought in 1980, that I doubt they even have parts.  Plus cost of
repair would probably be more than the radio is worth.

All other knobs seem to function.
