Subject: [Yaesu] FT1000MP RIT frequency jumping - optical encoder is broken?
> Hello, reflector
> I have been using FT1000MP since 1998. Recently I found that VFO frequency
is chaotic jumping several kc then I rotate RIT knob. There was no any
mechanical impact.
>
> A few years ago a similar subject was discussed on this reflector. Some
hams pointed that it was likely RIT optical encoder broken and the only way
to cure this problem was to replace it.
>
> My questions:
>
> 1) is it really optical RIT encoder broken? what otherwise?
>
> 2) is it impossible to repair RIT encoder at home?
>
> 3) does anybody can explain where I can buy (order) this specific part? My
search on internet is fruitless. A local ham's equipment dealer have never
heard about such problem.
