开云体育Ray ... What you say is true. ?What I said is also true. I wasn't questioning your assessment, I was narrowing the problem. When I ordered an HF-AUTO several years ago the same (presumably) kind of rocker switch as on the LA-1K was inadvertently installed upside down. ?The switch itself worked perfectly but to my mind, ON is UP, OFF is DOWN, and several days of it being the opposite was really bugging me. ?Much, I'm sure, as the light in your switch is bugging you. Deciding it wasn't worth my paying shipping costs, or worth wasting the factory's repair time, I started digging. Reversing the switch was straight-forward but not easy, owing to wires being dressed after the switch was installed. The wire lengths were just taut enough and the maneuvering space just tight enough to make things interesting. ? But eventually I got it reversed. When ordering the LA-1K a few years later, I called the factory for assurance its power switch would be installed correctly, which it was. People will occasionally make mistakes and components working properly at shipment will occasionally fail. ?That's why we have warranties. I'd have them send me a new switch (with wiring attached) and see if I could replace and wire it myself (in true amateur tradition and all that). ?If I couldn't, I'd send both back for warranty service. ?Since we're dealing with a power switch, you may or may not feel comfortable doing the work yourself, but a suitably experienced ham near you might. The point is, you should have received a longer-lived switch. You didn't. ?Join the crowd. 73, Kent K9ZTV On Apr 30, 2023, at 9:06 AM, tuneupmagic (null) via groups.io <tuneupmagic@...> wrote:
