It got worse over a \nperiod of a few weeks to the point that I could not even turn the shaft. I \nhad to replace the encoder. It was not a really tough job except for gaining \naccess to the front control panel.\n\nGood luck.\n\n73 de Jess - W4MVB\n\n----- Original Message ----- \nFrom: \"Alan Sieg WB5RMG\" <[email protected]>\nTo: <[email protected]>\nSent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 7:08 PM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] FT-736 tuning dial problem ?
