An older uniden for a frequency range between 100 and 199 mhz may expect you to interpret the frequency being shown as 1 followed by other digits on your display. For example a frequency of 145.350 may expect you to mentally add the printed "1" and digits 45350 giving the total frequency. This saved the manufacturer from having to purchase another digit to display the frequency since it is always 1 to start with.
I know these are old posted questions but here are some new answers..... Simplest first! Make sure the TX button is not engaged, if it is then the radio will not work correctly. Second would be a bad final or driver, this is a tough fix as these parts are tough to find, the parts are no longer made. A fix has been devised using MOSFETs but I have little details on this. Third but not last is to do with age and environment, a glue was used to stabilize parts to the boards, wire and coils typically. This "glue" will break down over time and exposure to moisture and become conductive, shorting out parts and also corrosive, making copper wire and traces come apart. Lastly, incorrect bracket knobs with screw threads too long can actually "crush" the PC board and break the PC copper traces. Dropping the radio is not good, cracked boards and broken wires in hidden places. Repairs can be made on all these but you need a tech that has experience to find these.....
