Don,
The most likely cause of that behavior is because the encoder board is
making contact with the Control Board.
Flush trim (diagonal cutters will not suffice) the leads on the encoder
board and also the area of the Control Board which possibly could
contact it. If you do not have flush cutters, you can find inexpensive
ones in the tool section of your local Home Depot store. Look for
Lufkin or Xcelite or Cooper (all the same company) "shear" cutters -
they are inexpensive and will do a good job.
As added insurance, you can place a piece of card stock (a business
card) or better yet Fish Paper or a flat piece of thin plastic like that
used for the shrink wrap on purchased small items between the encoder
board and the back of the control board.

Hi all,
I am very happy with my K2 kit. I am taking my time and being very careful NOT to
have any solder bridges. So I was disappointed & depressed when I discovered
the tuning knob does NOT advance or reduce frequency, it just stays on the
beginning band frequency when the knob is spun.
I also noticed the menu button, when pressed multiple times, does NOT advance
to the next menu item, going in either direction. Related issue?
So, if anyone has suggestions on where to look or start looking, I would very
much appreciate any ideas. All resistances checked out ok, too.
