I bent the shaft on the rotary dial soon after I got the radio (long story).
It did not work right after that, I was fine tuning with the mike buttons instead of the encoder.
So I ordered a replacement from Yaesu USA and received it back within a few days.
The FT-817 comes apart fairly easily, anyone who has looked into adding the Collins filters has been there. The front panel comes off by moving four tabs.
The encoder unplugs and the nut on the shaft is all that holds it in place.
Quick, easy repair, FB!!
