Thanks - now it makes sense. Off the contact on the wiper arm - as in all the way off full stop.
I dont think i was screwed in the trade.id say switch failed. Im not unhapy with who ibtraded with or the radio.. Now if it had been maxed out n burned up id be a tad unhappy as under that condition id say the other pary got rid of it before it self destructed
just noticed you joined about same time as me almost same amount of likes and posts
No idea if that's a good thing or bad.
Never paid much attention to those sorts of things.

ebay has them for 880 but not 980Some more useless info
It's a 50k/5k dual ganged and flatted control with SPST switch made by CTR.
I wonder if a similar replacement is available. Will have a look around.

The image is clearly of the Volume/Squelch control

Is clearly the RF gain control.
That said, I can't find my 880. It's here someplace.
It may very well be the exact same control. $20 is a bit steep but considering the alternatives.....

Martian, handy andy i fixed it.
Put it in my pickup n was thinkin take knob off so i pulled the on off volume knob off.took my pliers n pulled firm on switch shaft and snapped it on n off several times.all of a sudden it snapped diffrently.,connected power n it shuts off like its supposed to do.i unhooked power at the wire splice no spark like when its in the on position. Time will tell.hoping my floor hump mount comes in tomorrow so i can finish it up.

Handy andy kinda like a cell phone setting on my table,its waiting on my wife to hold my good phone n video me shooting it with my 12 guage setting on a fence post
Is that supposed to act as a warning to keep the good phone from getting out of line.
