APX 7000 channel selector knob swap-out

Post by sjxts3000 »

OK, so I picked up one of the "fat" APX 7000 knobs, but I'm reluctant to destroy the "tiny" one off my radio without knowing if this new "fat" OEM knob is just a direct swap. If the tiny knob is removed, the fat one looks like it might not go all the way "down" the stem. Is there something I'm missing? Anyone swapped one of these out before?

Pull the tiny one off, and push the fat one on.. Easy as that.

Stupidity creates job security!

If your radio has old firmware, programming it with the latest CPS will not add any new features unless you have the latest firmware to match..

CPS = Customer Programming Software, Not CPS Software.

Dang...that *was* easy! I just did it in 10 seconds. Thanks for the confirmation. I just wasn't sure if the new one slid all the way down or not. Didn't even need any pliers (can't recall who said pliers, but they are not needed).

Thanks!
