I think this is one of those things where you either get hung up on this or you don't. My Omni VI's knob has a slight wobble--I couldn't care less. I'll say this for the Orion, at least it has two de

I think the point is that when you spend $2600 for a radio you would prefer that the tuning knob not wobble regardless of the quality of the receiver. Mike W9OJ

I don't usually say anything about issues like this but this time I will. I bought a new OMNI 6+ in 11-01, loaded with filters along with a power supply, desk mic, and later a matching speaker. The t

I predict the demo unit at the various ham shows was the same s/n unit. Thus, the same knob. Usually, engineering won't give out many demo units when production is first starting. Most companies have

Just had to get in on the knob issue. I held off for as long as I could BUT ALAS - I am NOT making excuses for wobbly knobs, imperfect moldings, and other "issues" that we have occasionally encounter

For the record, the fit and finish of the Orion is as good as any radio I've owned. It's extremely well done. One thing I really like about the control arrangement, is that there are NO analog contro

The tuning knobs do not "Wobble". There is a slight degree of eccentricity on mine -- but very slight. I have confirmed that it is not the encoders or the shafts. So it may be the tolerance on the sh

The worst knob I've seen on a amateur rig is the main tuning knob on a Yaesu FT-847. Every one of those suckers is eccentric. 73 Jeff kb2m

I tend to agree about fit and finish, based on the unit I got close to at Dayton. I'm darned if I could detect any issue with the tuning knobs. Assuming these demo units go from show to show for a ye

FWIW, tuning knob concentricity is no less of an issue with Yaesu. I have a shelf full of main tuning knobs for the FT-1000D. Yaesu sent me multiple knobs back in the early '90s in an attempt to fin

The knob and the skirt are two separate parts to allow for the adjustment of the "drag" of the knob. The manual explains this adjustment to suit the operator. To center skirt with the knob, rotate th

You know, it occurs to me that this whole "it wobbles" problem started because someone can't tell the difference between _actual_ wobble and _apparent_ wobble. My various Ten-Tecs have no discernable

Why not replace the tuning knob with one of those black wrinkle finish crank knobs from a BC-348. Fair Radio Sales has them for $ 6.00. The BC-348 knobs don't wobble, even in the presence of FLAK. Bo
