[Kenwood] TS-820 vfo

[rbethman]

Paul,

Just dug into the "Archives" here.  I have a TS-820S and VFO-820 on the 
shelf.

The service manual does NOT indicate a variable tuning capacitor.  It 
appears to be one of the encoder types.  This could simply be an 
accumulation of dust.  Try some canned air or such.  It may well do the 
trick.  It could be "piling" up at the ends.
