Gary,
Before you order a new encoder, remove the front panel and swap the two
encoders (they are the same), put the radio back together, and see what you
observe when tuning both the A and B VFOs.

Landing, of course.

Gary,
You have to remove the front panel assembly. The encoder must be
removed from the rear of the Front Panel.
It is not difficult, try it.
