Re: ft747gx encoder replacement

2009-06-30T17:05:08Z

If memory serves me right, there may be some pots associated with the
optical encoder timing.
Alternatively, if the part is no longer available, allot of the old
encoders use generic opto-couplers that can be replaced. One of the three
must be out
Or, there is dirt blocking the optics
Hope this helps

Take a look at the encoder for the FT-890, it is magnetic, and might work.
If I remember the Ft-890 is an upgraded FT-747 .

ft747gx encoder replacement

2009-06-29T06:49:26Z

All,
I have the regular frequency hopping issue common to the FT-747gx.
One time I came across someone that replaced the clicking vfo knob/
encoder with a smooth encoder. Does anyone know of someone that has
done this? I hate the clicking when trying to tune.
I can't remember now but I had thought they used a 757 or 767

I would try the auto mirror to windshield glue they sell at the auto
parts stores.

I'll tell you another one. One of the hard drive manufacturers had, built
into some memory chip on the hard drive circuit board some code that
"phoned home" for reasons never really disclosed. The guy who found out
called the manufacturer but the rep he talked to couldn't say what the
story was.

I forgot to mention even equipment gets in the mix. Ever install an HP
printer? I spent a lot of time denying internet access to a lot of stuff
they installed on my computer. Too bad they make some really good
printers... Wonder just why 4 or 5 things need to go to the net every boot?

loose glass in meter

2009-06-22T14:28:49Z

I have a Viking II that the glass in the meter came loose. I'd rather not
disassemble the front panel (since it looks to be a lot of work) to remove
the meter which is behind a RF proof shield, so I'm thinking of just gluing
the glass in a few spots. What would be good for making the glass stick to
