My original VHF radio on my 1988 hunter 23 will turn on but not lock on any channels. It will scan the weather channels but not lock on to any of them. I checked all the connections in the cabin and on deck but can't locate any problem. It was working great, but the next time I turned it on I had the problem. When I adjust the squelch, I get static. I'm not sure how to test the antenna with the mast up. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

It's not the connections or the coax or antenna. If the squelch is set properly and the synthesizer won't lock, the cost of a new transceiver is less than that to repair the old one.

Plus, new radios are pretty cheap, if all you have to replace is the radio itself....$100.
