[Towertalk] T2X Problem

[n4kg@juno.com]

Buy a NEW indicator pot from MFJ.
It's a simple process to change it out.
There is a copper flange that stucks up
from the POT which engages a formed
extension in the TOP of the rotor housing.
Did you check to see the flange was properly
aligned with the housing before assembly?
