Alan,
With that serial number, there could be a lot of wear on the pot if the
prior operator used the RF Gain a lot.
It is one of the standard size pot 5K linear, but there are pots with
different form factors. I would suggest you get the proper one from
Elecraft PN E520004 to be certain it fits.

Thanks Don. It's an early K2, serial number 997. Is there anything
unusual about the pot or is it just a standard sized miniature 5K linear?

Alan,
If the RF gain pot is worn it will behave that way.
If this is a fairly new K2 I would say SN above 4000, the pot should
not be worn out yet unless the operator used it excessively - so in that
case, look for an unsoldered connection between the RF gain control and
the path to the K2 Control Board.
