[Kenwood] Kenwood TS 940S

N4DSP:
 >Does the 940S show three decimal places? Mine shows two and I believe my
930S showed three. Presently it has too fast of a dial ratio for weak signal
cw.

         The following applies to the 930 but
may also apply to the 940.

    * The resolution of the main tuning digital readout can be 
increased from 100Hz to 10Hz. No digits are lost since the readout 
has the extra digit for this purpose. This change can be accomplished 
by grounding pin 1 of connector 8 on the digital unit PCB.
    * The tuning rate is 10KHz per revolution of the main tuning knob.
    * The tuning rate can be changed to 5KHz per revolution by 
removing or lifting one end of diode D-13 on the digital unit PCB.
    * Note that the black marks on the tuning knob itself are exactly 
500Hz apart. The knob can be "corrected" by tuning in an exact 
frequency, such as 10,000.00KHz, pressing the DIAL LOCK switch, then 
turning the knob to line up a black line. As long as you don't spin 
the dial too fast, it will track nicely from one end to the other. 
With the slow rate tuning modification above, the dial increments 
become 250Hz per division.
    * You may desire to switch the new reduced tuning rate on and 
off. For example, you can select the new rate on just VFO B by using 
an unused section of the FUNCTION switch to make or break the circuit 
on diode D-13. Another pssibility is to use the display DIM switch.
    * There are an additional 8 memories available. These can be 
utilized by grounding pin 5 of connector 7 on the digital unit PCB. 
This lead is designated as "M3". The additional memories can be 
selected by using the unused contac on the FUNCTION switch or by 
adding a new switch.
