Mike:

Make sure the rubber ring on the outside of the knob has not been pushed back against the front panel.  Otherwise, there are no adjustments.

I have had inquiry as to how to add more drag.  My suggestion is, as other companies have done, add a piece of closed cell sheet packing, in the form of a 1" diameter washer with a 1/4" hole in the center.  Remove the knob, 2 set screws under the rubber ring, put on the foam washer, and put the knob back in place. To get more or less drag, just adjust the knob with respect to the front panel.

Is there a way to adjust the drag on the main tuning dial of the Eagle?  I
don't find anything in the manual about this.  I find the drag too great for
comfort and would like to loosen it up a little.  Thanks in advance for any
suggestions.  73, Mike W2IY
