CRT SS9900 Channnel selector not clicking.

Post by KiloBravo312 »

Hi all.
My CRT SS9900 channel selector appears to be broken. Its stopped clicking and is now smooth. It still works as in selecting channels and frequencies!
I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
Additionally how to fix or replace the defective part and what it might cost.

Regards Bob.

I’ve got a few encoders here. Pretty fiddly job.

Thanks for the reply there Ed.
Is that is what they are called? Pricey?
The dial functions fine despite the no clicks with a slight notch at the 360 mark.

Yes they are not cheap I tried to buy direct but can’t find them for a good price. If it’s working with no noticeable detent It probably won’t for much longer.

The encoder is the selector

I charged about £50 all in last one it takes a while as the whole front has to come apart plus the encoder is through
Hole soldered and easy to mess up.

Hey Ed.
Took it in and it will be ready Tuesday. He has some encoders in stock. Nice guy and they have a nice museum of over 100 CB radio’s.
Spend nearly 2 hours in the shop Dave (the technician) was great to talk too.

Its Lamco Communication in Barnsley.
I asked him which is another good 11m radio and he said the President McKinley is a great radio all round.

Replacing the Encoder is a job who has killed mom and dad. I would replace it with a better quality Encoder as well. The factory Encoder is not the best quality.
