M016576 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Anyone had problems with their KY-197 knob not working? The radio works (it's set to ground and ATIS at my local field, so I know it still recieves and transmits.. Also still flip flops to the #2 freq), I just can't change the frequencies. I've tried all three knob selections in both directions (ie big knob, little knob and pulled out little knob) and none work. What says the crowd: a little contact cleaner? Or could it be a pin in the back grounding out, or is it just plain broke?
M016576 Posted February 25, 2013 Author Report Posted February 25, 2013 Just plain broke.... Unfortunately that's what I was thinking... Going to take the face off and have a look see anyway though
OR75 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 you can buy a brand new faceplate. check out chief or sometimes ebay.

M016576 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Posted March 14, 2013 Follow up on this- I sprayed the knob out with contact cleaner and it's working fine now.
