There should be no need to re-do the extended temperature compensation

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.
I replaced all four encoders ( with help from my friend ) couple of days ago.
It was quite a job as the whole front panel has to be taken into pieces and
DSP boards has to be taken off.
A good SMD rework station is recommended to clean through holes + experience in
rework not to damage foils

The way I read the manual is that you need to hook up an external monitor to
