I have just opened the 7600GR and removed the antenna to apply a drop
of oil (intended for a sewing machine). Now the antenna turns a little
more easy, but (holding the bushning with a vice) turning the antenna
makes the bottom part quite hot. This indicates a lot of friction...

I just pulled mine out of the box (arrived today) and my antenna is tight
like that, too. :P I guess I have to live with it as I am not comfortable
opening it up and putting oil on it. I used to be, but after making a few
mistakes, I decided I was not electronically inclined except for computers.
:P

Any other ideas? Isn't there a screw to loosen or something? Or do I just
have to be really careful when turning the antenna?

Mine now runs smooth with just the right friction. =8-)

You can apply the same drop of oil from the outside. Mine hasn't
leaked any oil out.
