[Kenwood] Need help with TS-830 Bandswitch

[Wa9mxq@cs.com]

This is not easy from my experience. I did a bit of circuit tracing to find 
when things in the earlier stages (in front of the PA compartment) lined up 
with the PA tank circuit part of the bandswitch. Admittedly, I also looked on the 
shaft to see where the marks were from the previously tightened universal 
joint.

I have had the same experience on both a TS-530SP and a TS-830S (identical 
construction in that area). This problem is something that needs to be watched 
when replacing that rather delicate universal joint going into the PA 
compartment. It is made worse by the fact that the bandswitch turns continuously -- no 
stop between 160 meters and 10 meters. Because of that there is no clear 
reference point.

73,
