[Kenwood] Kenwood TS 440SAT problem

[Avi - Modi'im Orchards]

Howdy John,

Are you talking about mechanical drag on the knob, or just the turns ratio? 
If the former, hold the knob in one hand and turn the knurled ring with the 
other - this causes two felt-covered tabs ( if I remember correctly) to 
press against the case and sort of simulate the weighted feel of a really 
heavy knob, but really all you get is some frictional  drag. One direction 
tightens, the other loosens. There's no gear assembly, the shaft 
direct-drives an optical encoder.

If the turns ratio is what you're talking about, I recall cutting a jumper 
somewhere to get higher display resolution, but don't recall that it changed 
the turns ratio, just added another digit in the display. If you need this 
info, let me know and I'll start the archeological excavation!
