Why not call Tech support? They need to know that your radio was not
working out of the box. Let them help you. That is what they are there
for.

Thank you Vic and others.It's been a long time since I assembled my K3. I
reviewed the assembly documentation last night. I did not remember that the
encoders plug into the PCBA. It looks like a pretty straightforward disassembly
and reassembly.Vic asked if the encoder could have come unplugged, possibly in
shipping when my K3 was back at Elecraft. I'm not sure how that could happen
since the encoder is attached to the front panel with a nut. The nut and the
VFO knob would have to both be missing for that to happen. I just wonder if
since I have to take the whole front panel off to replace, should I just order
replacements?Does anyone know if the encoders can be replaced if I remove the
knob and nut without taking the front panel off?If I get some time this week
I'll open up the K3 and take a look.73,Gary K9GS

disassembling your K3, remove the Front Panel assembly and swap the encoder A with encoder B. If the problem follows the encoder, then order a new
encoder from Elecraft. If that is not the problem, contact [email protected] for additional checks.73,Don W3FPR
