Re: Yaesu ft-840.
I would be very tempted to Google this and try Eham.

Re: Yaesu ft-840.
I found this on a google search.
Ride at your own risk, but it might be worth a try: Quote: Some FT-840 owners have experienced the VFO tuning knob freezing or locking up. 3 owners have taken the tuning knob off, and applied a thin lubricant on the shaft between the shaft and bearing to correct the problem. A quick, simple, and cheap fix. End quote Hope that helps a bit. (The MODS DK site has several entries about issues with the FT-840, but there's no mention of this phenomenon. Might be worth a squint?). David |
