Hello All, Just got to the stage of completing the FP of K2 #6998. I'm wondering how much resistance in turning the encoder shaft is "normal" on the K2? Even without the felt washer, there is quite a bit of friction turning the shaft of my encoder - it's very smooth, but there's no way I could "spin" it very much. If I give it a flick (hard), the VFO knob will turn maybe 3/4 of a turn at the most.
This is much "stiffer" than, say my IC746pro encoder knob which I'm used to, so I'm just wondering what's normal for the K2 encoder. I saw a video on You Tube of a guy with a K2 and he was having no trouble spinning up and down the band with a few revolutions per flick of the VFO knob, but he had a different knob to the stock K2, so maybe that makes a difference too. Just wondering.
