I have SN 3329 and think I have the same thing. I'd call it more play than backlash. I think there was a short period where Elecraft used some different encoders than they'd been using and ours have these encoders.
I built a K3 about 5 months earlier for our club. Those encoders have light detents with no play/backlash. I've considered contacting Elecraft about replacing my encoders but never have. 73, Alan N5NA On 7/8/2012 2:23 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Message: 23 > Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2012 18:01:42 -0400 (EDT) > From:[email protected] > Subject: [Elecraft] K3 encoder backlash? > To:[email protected] > Message-ID:<[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > > I have a factory-built K3 #3215 and have always noticed a significant > amount of backlash on the four encoders located just left of the VFO A knob. > Has this been improved on newer K3's?
