Hi Jo's,
As Don stated, it is probably a bad pot which are pretty far and few
between since the AF gain mod years ago. You can simply order another one
from Elecraft here: https://elecraft.com/pages/parts-mod-kits
The Elecraft part number is E520003. Hope this helps.

Jos,
If you can find another control with the same shaft length and
footprint, You can use it.
I suspect that you had a defective one - after the AF Gain Wiring was
changed (and incorporated onto the boards after SN 3000) the number of
AF Gain potentiometers that became scratchy dropped to almost nothing.
I recommend just getting another from Elecraft.

I build my K2 in the winter 2018/2019 with serialnumber 7850.
The transceiver works very well, but the af gain potmeter sound scratchy now.
My question is, is this normal after such a short time of use ?
Where can I get a decent potentiometer, because if I replace it with the
same one, I think I will have the same problem again in 2 years.
