VFO tuning pot

 

Looking from the front of the rig what are the correct pot connections - left to right.
Red Brown Black or Black Brown Red??

Thanks - Noel


 

From the diagram it is Red Brown Black. If your tuning movement is reverse then just interchange red and black!

You still didn't answer the question.? Which lug does the red wire connect to so that the VFO freq
increases when you turn it clockwise.? Before I can trim or look for anything I need to know which way to turn the knob.? There are hardly any signals to work it out and the wiring up description says
???? Solder the red wire of the 3-pin connector to right lug of the tuning control
???? Solder the brown wire of the 3-pin connector to the middle lug of the tuning control
???? Solder the black wire of the 3-pin connector to the right lug of the tuning control

and in the photo it shows the red wire connected to the right lug!!!
 

I just try it see if it works the way you want and then switch it if it doesn't, and when it's right make the connections solid and permanent. Other wise it's too hard for me to follow the written description: did they mount the lugs at the top or at the bottom, does he mean the one on the left looking at it from the front or from the back where you are doing the soldering...
Could be just me...

I presume you have replied to me.

Either way you connect the pot, it will work fine. The wrong way means when you turn clockwise the
RX frequency will go down instead of upwards!
