[ICOM] 756Pro3 tuning knob turns roughly

[Mike Reublin NF4L]

Joe - Check your manual. On the PRO II the drag is set by a small Phillips head screw to the right of the knob. ICOM calls it "tuning dial brake adjustment". You might try taking the rubber ring off the knob, loosening the set screw(s) and moving the knob a hair away from the case.
