Hi Guys, To-day I had occasion to take the top cover off of my T-4X transmitter, & examine the PTO mechanics a bit...
Question: how "normal" is it for the frequency to "jump & jiggle" whenever even the lightest of physical force is applied to the yoke...? Is this expected, or should the frequency stay put no matter what, i.e. there should be no "slack / sloppiness" in the assembly...? I noticed a bit of "play" in the yoke of my PTO---enough that if I applied even just a modicum of pressure from a wooden chopstick, I could "jiggle" the frequency. Does this indicate that something is, indeed, loose in mine & in need of tightening, or all they all like this...? The jiggle in my PTO sounds a LOT like the jiggle than I can induce with manual pressure---maybe the key to our woes in this regard has a MECHANICAL solution, rather than an electronic one...? I'm gonna remove the PTO cover, & the circuit board itself, as my next step. Maybe I'll be able to see something therein that requires "tightening"...I don't know. ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
