Error updating repositories FreeBSD

I have read a number of posts about such a problem and tried the recommended solutions that I haven't found one that works.

I am running FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p2 which maybe part of the problem but am unable to update it.

Code: 
root@EMTEC:~ # pkg install emacs
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
pkg: packagesite URL error for pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/meta.conf -- pkg+:// implies SRV mirror type
pkg: packagesite URL error for pkg+http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/meta.txz -- pkg+:// implies SRV mirror type

Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

I don't have a local REPO.

This does work:-
Code: 
root@EMTEC:~ # fetch http://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/latest/data.pkg
data.pkg                                                10 MB 2404 kBps    04s
Could the problem be related to my /var/db/pkg which I tried to update some time ago when attempting to create a local pkg repo over a year ago?
 
The mirror type was originally set to "SRV" but I read somewhere to change it to "NONE".

Maybe the problem then was that my resolver wasn't working, but things look to be working now.

Many thanks.
