Is there a way to put a frequency lock button or lock to stop the
frequency knob from moving on a Ten Tec Corsair I? Is the inside mechanism
like those in a Icom 211 or IC-551 which uses a LED and phototransistor
along with a slotted wheel to change the frequncy, if so I think I could add
one by turning off the LED's, a friend of mine is blind and occasionally he
bumps the knob which knocks him off frequency, we'd like to add a switch of
somekind to stop the freq. from changing if he bumps it with his hand while
working the front panel.
Thanks all for the help, 73' John Hamilton ,kd5inm
