István, The optical encoder used for VFO A on the KX3 was custom designed for Elecraft, and may not be generally available. Prior to this, there was no optical encoder available from any manufacturer that was this small, while still having excellent mechanical properties and long life. Even if you could find it, you'd be paying single-unit prices, probably higher than what we charge, because we purchase them in large quantities.
In addition, there's a small circuit board pre-attached to the circuit board to allow it to be plugged into the control panel board. You may be able to have the encoder shipped from one of our EU dealers. 73, Wayne N6KR On May 23, 2016, at 2:22 PM, Szabó István <[email protected]> wrote: > Could someone help me who is the manufacturer of the encoder?
