GRUNDIG FK105
		how to fix the squelch
		----------------------

FAILURE:
when the radio warms up about half an hour, the squelch opens.

FIX:

change the elcos around the squelch opamps AN829 and NMJ4558 

the FK 105 is old, the elcos leak electrolyte over the time.

		wilde oscillation
		----------------

FAILURE:
the TX audio signal is noisy and weak, power output is normal.
the power amp swings wilde on medium wave and modulates the TX in AM mod.

FIX:
solder some ceramic or dipped mica 10-100nF C´s across C 78 B,
C 240, C 211 and between FB 201 and 202 to ground.
