It sounds like the setscrew of the tuning knob is loose.  Tighten it.
Then tune to the frequency you want, hold the tuning knob and rotate the
dial skirt.

| 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,
|
