In Reply to: Re: FT 101a upgrade - blunt answer...yes. + rant posted by beken on February 2, 2006 at 16:13:53:
I've been using an FT-11 since '97 and I'm wondering if you experienced the same problem I had...After several years of use I started having problems with signal drift, at least that's what it looked like. Looking at the problem closer, I found that wiggling the buttons on the ront panel caused exactly the same problem. Eventually the situation got so bad that it wasn't even practical to use the tuner.
So, instead of paying MD to fix it, I just removed the entire pushbutton mechanism. (I tried cleaning the contacts with DeoxIt first, but that didn't help.) In place of the pushbuttons, I installed a couple mini toggle switches and hardwired the features I didn't need to switch on/off (mute and the 3 presets). Tuning is entirely manual, but that's no big deal.
So I'm wondering... did you have the same problem with your FT-11, and do you know if MD addressed it when you had it upgraded?
