Rich,
There are two types of 10 turn pots used - and therefore there is some
possible confusion if you follow the pot numbering on the schematic.
Use the illustration in the manual that matches your potentiometer.
If your VFO tunes in a direction opposite what it should, then you have
something reversed with the pot wiring - no other harm will come of it.

Hello all. I'm seeing a difference between the numbering diagram and the
numbering on my potentiometer. I'm thinking I should follow the numbers.
The sequence on the potentiometer shows 1 and 3 on the outsides, and 2 in
the middle and pointing to the center of a resistor symbol. The manual
illustration shows 3 and 2 on the outside and 1 in the middle. Both show 3
next to the knob shaft. The manual also notes that "Your potentiometer MAY
be either of the two types shown." (Emphasis added). I have three in-line
lugs.
From the front panel schematic in Appendix B, I think I just need to match
the diagram on the pot with the schematic, but it is not clear which, 1 or
3, is the ground on the pot. The schematic on the pot indicates that CW
moves towards 3.
Thinking that this is simply a variable resistor, I'm thinking that getting
the "variable" right is the key. Trying to learn as I go.
Thanks for any help.
