> 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.

search on internet is fruitless. A local ham's equipment dealer have never
heard about such problem.
