Hi, is there a good trick to tighten the bandwidth shaft coupler if the
shaft coming out of the i.f. chassis seems a bit small. The shaft
coupler worked ok on the 390a i.f. chassis but when I put the 390 i.f.
chassis in the 390a radio, the shaft seems a bit small for the coupler
even when tightened down pretty tight (gap closed). More to come on
the successful conversion of the 390 non-a i.f. to go in the 390a, but
I'm trying to solve this problem so I can change bandwidth without
taking the i.f. chassis out - it seems awkward to have to do that. I
tried putting a 2 mil shim sheet on two sides of the shaft in but that
still didn't give enough purchase on the shaft. Maybe there's a gritty
substance that would help? thanks, Dan.
