One thing I have noticed on the KX1 is that the shaft encoder is a tad flaky ... sometimes I'll be tuning downward and the freq goes up one or two numbers in the least significant position. It sort of depends on how you hold the knob. A little pressure toward the top will increase the flakiness, toward the bottom will cure it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I had an Alinco DX70 for repair recently where the sub dial gave a very similar result. On this the parts of the shaft encoder are held together with two split tabs. Over time these had slackened off slightly and allowed the encoder to flex slightly. Was able to reduce the effect by mechanical tightning of these tabs, but the only full cure was to replace the encoder with a new one. Possibly the KX1 has similar problems.
