[Kenwood] 850 Question

Fri, 14 Mar 2003 07:51:05 -0800

Hi Bill,

That's the symptom I am speaking of, not a real problem in my opinion.
And, as the "repair" is to replace the encoder, not something that needs
your further attention.

I am responding with a cc to the list as others maybe interested in what
you found. Good luck with your TS-850S!
