[1000mp] FT-1000MP MKV Receiver Problems

[John Spurgeon]

Hi Uwe,

 

     I have removed the Tuning knob and the jogwheel assembly off from the rig and it still behaves exactly the same. E.g tunes down after an hour or so. If I turn the jogwheel in the clockwise direction when it is still in place on the rig then it will temporary stop tuning down until I let go. Thats why I removed the whole assebly from the rig.
