[TenTec] Bezel/tuning knob question

[Gary Smith]

Yet another question...

I can't get my Corsair bezel/tuning knob to act the way I think it should. (Same exact 
problem with the VFO)

With my TS-820S it works perfectly for my wishes. Say I want to co-ordinate to 
14.000.0   If the bezel is off from the frequency in the display, 
I hold the bezel at the 00 and turn the knob till the frequency is 14.000.0 & it's done. 
Perfect & easy, just what I expect.

With the Corsair it appears to be the bezel that's tied to the VFO, not the knob and 
holding the bezel prevents any turning of the knob from making a change. With the 
bezel held, the knob turns but does nothing. When I release the bezel; turning the 
knob changes the frequency.

I just removed the knob from the VFO thinking it might be stuck from hardened 
residue but After removing the felt bushing it doesn't look like the bezel is easily 
removed & is held in place by three contact points daubed with black paint. 

I see nothing I can do to change the bezel position and not the frequency or vice 
versa.

Am I missing the obvious somehow? 

I'd like it to be as straightforward and easy as my 820S is to change. 

When I work split, it would be helpful to match frequencies, put the VFO's bezel on 0 
& then if I want to go up 8 I can do it without having to play mental gymnastics each 
time I do it.

Thanks,
