There is a project but to see the signal strength that the radio is receiving, for example, a weak but audible international station lights up 2 LEDs and one is coming in strong as if it were local, lights up 5 LEDs for a radio receiver. Do you know or have a project like this?
May be some watch maker lube would help and as I understand it is lighter fuel used in the old type of pocket lighters you only need a very small amount.
Hi m8, I have a Daiwa cross needle swr/power meter that when you tap the top the needle on the power side jumps up a few mm, Would this technique be worth trying on this? Much appreciated. 73
It works. I just did it to my uniden grant xl that had a stuck meter. A slight twist of the screw unstuck it.
Thanks for the video, worked a treat for me and a new lease of life to my 2000 GTL.
Awesome!

Good job

That's what I use. A small blob on the end of a sewing needle right on the meter needle pivot, both sides if you can get to it.
brake clean works well for that done it on a few of those

Yes, just be careful
Use acetone, just a few drops, wait a minute and the screw will turn.
Great idea! 👍👍
Good job, it'll last another 40+ years. :)
I hope so!
