Need an on/off switch

Postby WB4YAL » Tue Jan 29, 2019 7:19 pm

I have an issue that just developed with my ANAN 100D. The switch will no longer latch on. So you cannot push in and have the switch stay on.
I was wondering if anyone has had this issue before and where you found a replacement switch.

Thanks in advance for any help. I thought I would check here before looking for one on the 'net.

Thanks to SA3ATF for the good comment. I took he switch apart and put a drop of oil in the front piece and now no issues.

John,

I recommend you contact the factory directly. They should be able to provide you with a part number.

Hi Scott,

I emailed support last Friday and I have not heard back from them yet.

Is there another way I should contact them?

Try contacting the US repair operation, Doug, W5WC.

I've also had this problem with my 200D.
Noted that the switch went a little slow, so I unscrewed the front and disassembled the connector and lubricated the actual operating part that is in the front and it went much easier immediately.
Assembled everything together and it worked out as it should. So it may be worth looking at this first.

Good luck.
