Re: [Elecraft] RF POT (K2)

2004-06-19 Thread Fernando Quinones
K2 2330 experiences the same malady. Even a slight bump will cause this. 
I'm waiting
to get in there and replace the pot. Just having too much fun to open 
her up.

Hate to replace it and have the problem resurface.

1) yes.

2) ??

AF pot gives plenty of volume with no scratchiness so no problem there.

take care

1)  Do others have this problem?

2)  what is the recommended solution?

I have never done the AF pot mod because it is not noisy at all.

tnx,

Mine on K2 2198 has the same problem and has had it for a long time. It
helps to push the RF pot gently inwards as you turn it, but I am
planning a replacement ... some time..
