Subject: [1000mp] Main VFO Dial Slips
Message-ID: <BLU171-W108A6956390FD3DFDE7B5228EEE0@phx.gbl>

My venerable Mk V has developed a problem: In some positions (finger hole at 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock), the main VFO-A dial continues to turn after I take my hand off it. This causes my frequency to change, so it's clearly a mechanical problem with the dial. Is this something that has been seen frequently? Is there a way to repair it?
thanks in advance,
Peter W2CDO

Hello,

Is there anyone out there in Yaesu land that may have a FP-29 collecting
dust......that the Mark V has died and left the FP-29 an orphan?

Thanks,

Randy

Hi Peter
There is a tension spring behind the main tuning knob that may be adjusted for this or it may be broken. The Rubber on the main knob must be removed loosen a set screw in the knob remove the knob then move the spring around the shaft to the right to tightend(more) tension on knob. There are pictures in rear of 1000mp manual about this. Hope that helps otherwise you might have a loose optical encoder but that would seem unlikely.?

If you can't find one I know there's a way of wiring a regular power supply to work on the Mark V. Search online and I think maybe even Brian Campbell has something on his website about it if not you can email him.

Hi Morris
I am interested in this as well. I looked through my FT 1000 Mark V (200w) 
Operating Manual and do not see the pictures. Can you tell me where to find 
them?
Thanks,
Rich VE6AX

>From my experience the FP29 is not all that reliable.  When repairing it the mail chip is proprietor and is about $100 or more. You are better off to use an external analog 12 volt and 30 volt supply.  The analog supplies are more reliable.

Rich,

Both Morris and Byron Campbell had the fix: prise off the rubber ring over the main dial, open the set screw on the dial and remove it. Carefully twist off the tension spring and remove. If the little retaining ring comes off, set it aside. Now wipe off the grease that has seeped onto the shaft USING ONLY A PAPER TOWEL. NO DEGREASER!! I wiped off the inside of the knob, the inside of the retaining ring and the spring as well, again using only the paper towel.  When you're done, put the ring back on, screw the spring back on (Byron recommends screwing it on somewhat tightly), then return the knob and set the set screw. Test the dial for tension and adjust the spring as you prefer, then make sure the set screw is engaged and replace the rubber ring and you're set.

Kudos to Byron and Morris.

73, Peter
