Symptom: When tuning the Main Encoder of the TS450S/690S with bare hands
you may encounter a "scratching" noise in the speaker if an antenna with
a high SWR is used. If gloves are worn no problem is encountered.
This occurs because the shaft of the encoder is not grounded.
Countermeasure:
Replace the Main Encoder with one that has a gounded shaft.
