[1000mp] Main VFO Dial Slips

[Morris Wideman via 1000mp]

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.

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
