Title: DX-100B clamp tube adjustment pot Post by: kb3ouk on July 15, 2017, 07:51:44 PM Can someone tell me if the pot for the clamp tube adjustment is supposed to be a linear taper or an audio taper? I picked one up a few weeks ago and found that the pot is froze up and won't turn, and it looks like it might've been replaced before. The pot that is in there now is stamped "500K AUDIO" on the bottom, but I can't find any indication on the parts list if it is supposed to be audio or linear taper.
Thanks Title: Re: DX-100B clamp tube adjustment pot Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on July 15, 2017, 09:22:56 PM I can't see any reason to use an audio taper pot in this application. Go with linear taper.

Pete's suggestion is probably the best and most predictable
