\"Kenwood-TH-D72A\"<\/a>I bought a beautiful like-new Kenwood TH-D72A on eBay for a great price and was saddened\u00a0to discover that the encoder knob was quite loose. The seller insisted that this was normal, but I didn’t think that seemed right. I talked to many people online\u00a0online, some of whom said that their TH-D72A had a loose knob, and many who said it was rock solid. I took a chance and opened it up, knowing that doing so would mean I would no longer be able to return it.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, the encoder assembly sometimes works its way loose on these radios and needs to be tightened. It’s a pretty simple thing to fix, so\u00a0why pay Kenwood to fix it when you can do it yourself?\u00a0After posting my experience on eHam and Reddit and getting a few emails from people asking how I fixed it, I decided to write this article in hopes that it might help others out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n Warning:<\/strong> I’m about to show you how to take apart your expensive electronic device. You may void your warranty. You may ruin your radio. You may slip and jam a screwdriver into your hand. If you are not comfortable poking around the inside of expensive electronics, do yourself a favor and stop. If you break your radio, hurt your hand, cause an inter-dimentional rift, have a psychotic episode, or bleed profusely from both eyeballs for more than four hours, please consult your doctor and tell him that I warned you of the risks.\u00a0\u00a0\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

Let’s start tearing into the radio, shall we?<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>First,\u00a0you need to pull the knobs off. They\u00a0both pull straight up. After that, remove the battery. Be advised that if those two\u00a0steps are too complicated without associated pictures, then this probably isn’t the job for you. If, on the other hand, you’ve ever fixed anything more complicated than, say a stuck zipper, the remaining steps should be fine. If you’re a ham like me who likes to build their own amplifiers\u00a0and likes to restore old electronics<\/a>, then this will be a cakewalk, whatever that means<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With the battery off, you’ll see two screws on the bottom of the radio. Remove these and set them aside.<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n I’ve always found the “set them aside” part of instructions amusing. I mean, what else would you do with them? Throw them out? Eat them? Mail them to Grandma? Geez. Don’t lose the screws, OK? \r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>The two screws are what hold the case on. After removing them, you then
\nneed to pry the rubber port cover off. It’s only held on by the small tab you\u00a0see from the back of the radio with the\u00a0battery off. Pry it up from the ports and then pry\u00a0that little tab up with a small flat-head screwdriver. The rubber cover\u00a0should now slide out to the\u00a0side, but be careful as this piece can tear if you pull it with\u00a0too much force.<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>With the rubber cover off, you can now pull the case off of the radio. Pull it up and out of the case from the bottom end of the radio.\u00a0You’ll probably feel some pieces come loose. These are the 4-way arrow rocker-button cover\u00a0and possibly\u00a0the rubber keypad. Catch them and put them aside if they fall out. You know, instead of mailing them to Grandma. With the main cover tipped up (or down depending on how you’re holding the radio), you’ll\u00a0need to pull the case up to slide it off of the top over the knob\u00a0shaft. Looking at my picture, you’d slide the radio to the right and “out” of the case.<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>With the cover off, you’ll need to pull off the plastic cap on top of the radio.\u00a0Just grab the black plastic and gently pull up, away from the top of the radio.<\/p>\n

Take this part and throw it into the fireplace or maybe the trash. Or keep it nearby for later reassembly. Whatever \u2014 it’s your radio. I’d probably keep it, but who am I to judge?<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>You should now see\u00a0a rubber cover on the top of the radio which covers the encoder, the GPS antenna, and the SMC antenna connector.\u00a0Pull that off the same way as the last piece, but note that it’s hinged on the back. Just pull\u00a0it up and over the knob shaft and it should “peel” back from the radio. You don’t need to remove this part, but if you want to, gently pull the lips of the piece away from the radio as shown in the pic. There is one such lip on each side, and pulling them both out will allow you to remove this piece which you should now donate to charity.<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>You\u00a0should now have access to the encoder so you can tighten it. To tighten, look at the brass ring surrounding the encoder knob. This ring is what you’ll turn to tighten it.\u00a0To do so properly requires a special tool called a spanner wrench, but if you’re someone like me who doesn’t have one of these, then you can use one or two small flat-head screwdrivers.<\/p>\n

\"TH-D72A-Encoder<\/a>The brass ring is softer than your screwdrivers, so you may nick it if you’re not using a spanner wrench. Just be careful as this is a very inexact way to do this and it’s very easy to have the screwdriver(s) slip and cause damage to either the radio or your hand.<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n You have been warned!\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>Everything goes back together in the reverse order. Note that the 4-way rocker\u00a0is keyed and only fits on one way. Actually, that’s only partially true.<\/p>\n

The 4-way rocker cover will fit in the cover multiple ways, but the 4-way rocker itself\u00a0has a key in it (a long slot in the white “plus-sign”-looking button) which will only match with the cover in one way. The pic shows how the cover should be oriented when putting the radio back together.<\/p>\n

\"Kenwood<\/a>Of course, being able to reassemble the radio assumes that you kept all the miscellaneous bits and didn’t spill the little black screws into your ’70s-style deep shag carpet where they’d be lost forever.<\/p>\n

The steps required to reassemble the radio are, in order without pictures:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Put the rubber cover back on the top of the radio. Make sure the little lips are in place<\/li>\n
  2. Slide\u00a0the plastic top back over the antenna and encoder knob. Note that this piece slides into slots, so make sure you line it up properly before forcing it on<\/li>\n
  3. Put the rubber keypad on the radio and put the 4-way rocker switch cover in its place with\u00a0the proper orientation<\/li>\n
  4. Slide the assembled radio into the cover, ensuring that all the keys line up<\/li>\n
  5. When you put the cover back on, some of the rubber buttons my bind under the cover. Just push on them at an angle with your finger and they’ll pop right up into the hole where they belong<\/li>\n
  6. Replace the rubber port cover, making sure that it’s seated on the little nub in the case so it doesn’t fall out<\/li>\n
  7. Replace the two screws you had to fish out of the carpet<\/li>\n
  8. Replace the battery<\/li>\n
  9. Attach an antenna<\/li>\n
  10. Power it up and make some QSOs!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"5D3_4208_1600\"<\/a>That’s it! You probably just saved $100 or more by doing this simple repair yourself. Or you cost yourself hundreds of dollars by ruining your radio. Either way, I’m guessing you learned something.<\/p>\n
