Don, Thank you for the reply! I will follow your advice, a new encoder is now on the way from Elecraft. 73, Rickard SA2CIR Don Wilhelm-4 wrote Richard, I don't know of any way to resurrect a failing encoder. The fact that the switch works is entirely different - the switch function is

I was not aware of the Italian option, thank you for enlighten me! After some pondering I have decided to do the repair myself this time, but an authorized repair shop on ones continent is of course a big plus to have. 73, Rickard SA2CIR Phil Wheeler-2 wrote But how does that compare to

But how does that compare to shipping back and forth across the Atlantic, Poul? Being 300 miles from Elecraft that's a comparison I've not had to make -- but Rickard did mention that factor in his message, so I thought perhaps he was not aware of the Italy option (and I don't really know if

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

Thanks for informative pictures and writing! Yesterday the SPEED/MIC control of my four months old K3 started acting like a scratchy potentiometer with intermittent contact. I got quick response from Elecraft’s support and am now preparing for a soldering operation similar to the one described.

Richard, I don't know of any way to resurrect a failing encoder. The fact that the switch works is entirely different - the switch function is not related to the rotational function of the encoder. I would simply replace the encoder. As far as the fact that it works for the first 10

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

This thread prompted me to replace my CMP/PWR encoder which has been a problem for several years. When I ordered the encoder Elecraft recommended replacing all four. The encoders are only $3.34 each plus $3.50 for shipping. I took a few pictures and wrote up what I did at

[Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

Has anyone figured out how to clean or fix front panel encoders (SHIFT/LO , HI /WIDTH) ? These cheap ( ~ 0.5$ encoders ) in my K3 has always been quite jumpy i.e. value jumps up and down in random steps . Also the feeling is not what you would expect form rig in this price range. Similar

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

Olli, The SHIFT/LO control, etc., are mechanical encoders with a typical rotational life of 100,000 rotations. The are easily replaceable, and we can send you as many as you need. I believe the price is quite low. I don't believe is is possible to clean them, as they are sealed. In contrast,

Re: [Elecraft] K3 front panel encoders

Are there different encoders used on the K3 from batch to batch? I have an early K3 that has silk smooth encoders, and have another K3 that is later and the encoders are like gravel, rough and coarse. So there has been different encoders used? 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 Has anyone figured out how to
