If the frequency is frozen, it may be the encoder behind the tuning
knob. I had to have my encoder fixed; the technician replaced a couple
of diodes.

If there's no sound or reception, it may be the vfo; replacing the
plastic trim caps of early 735s with new ceramic trim caps will fix
that; I had to have that done, too.

Hi,
Here is a link to some known problem fix info off of ICOM website. The
first entriy deals with erractic display but not audio problems. It may be
a start. Good luck!
