Never a problem.
Only issue I had was in LAX, they always did the swab test on my K2/10 with the
built in battery everytime I connected
My K1 is S/N 2258, don't remember when I built it but believe around 2007.
Would the pot wear out in 5 years? The rig isn't used that often and nearly
always inside. It has always been in air conditioned and dry conditions.

I notice the tuning pot seems to have more play than would have thought
appropriate, can't say if this has increased. The jump happens at several
particular frequencies on all bands. For example, 7055, 7130; 14055, 14130.

OK, that is information that I did not have initially, so I only
mentioned the possibility - my ISP is broken :-) ..
Given that new information, I would suggest you look for a faulty solder
connection. Re-flow the soldering around the VFO pot with a hot (750
degF) soldering iron.
73,
I hope it is a joke! IMHO. it conveys the wrong message.
Did you ever hear of ramp-up? Consider the following scenerio for the
early days of shipping (even if the numbers are wrong).
One unit was shipped the first day, none the 2nd day because the second
unit took 1.5 days, 4th day, another
After reading all the 'facts' about production line 'ramp up' and estimated
daily production counts I have concluded that the same logic will apply to
my order for my new KAT500.
I am confident that the actual delivery will be the day Mr. Brown drops it
off at my front door. Plus or minus
Joe,
I would believe (based only on guess, and no prior knowledge) that the
number of orders for the KAT500 are much smaller than for the KX3.
While the KX3 natives are restless, I would think that once the KAT500
starts shipping, the projections will be much tighter than for the KX3 -
