Scott,
I suspect it is the encoder and not the firmware. Every instance of
that behavior I have seen is cured by replacing the encoder (and I have
repaired a lot of KX1s.
If you do not have good desoldering tools, cut the pins of the encoder
close to the body and then you can 'rock' the 2 securing tabs out.
Remove the remaining pins one at a time. Clean up with solder wick and
if there is solder remaining in the holes, heat the solder pad and push
it out with a wooden toothpick or stainless steel needle.
BTW - the model designation on Elecraft products does not have a dash in
it. it is "KX1", not "KX-1".

Operating the CWT yesterday for the first time with the KX-1, I found
a glitch: When tuning around the band, the frequency sometimes just
stops changing. Usually (always?) when I'm tuning downward, it's as
if it hits a wall: I can tune back upwards, but when I tune downward
it just stops at the same frequency. It's not just the display, as I
can hear that the frequency is not changing. If I change bands and
come back to the same frequency, it works normally for a while. It
happens several times in an hour of operating, so it's not easy to
reproduce. It's almost certainly not a bad encoder.
If it's a firmware bug, as I suspect, others should observe the same
problem. Firmware is 1.02.
Has anyone else seen this?
