It's really hard to beat a Simpson 260 or Triplett 630.

Subject: [Elecraft] New KX2 VFO knob wobble.
Message-ID:<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hi, new KX2 owner here. My new KX2 was delivered on May 10, and had a
significant wobble in the VFO knob.? After carefully removing the knob, I
discovered that the majority of the wobble was due to the loose fit between the
outer structure of the control and the panel opening.? I have temporarily
carefully shimmed the gap with some 24 gauge wire, but I believe that a more
permanent solution would be a locknut on the control housing which I do not
have.? ?With this temporary fix in place, the tuning knob works well.? I
contacted Elecraft Support on May 11 or 12 regarding this situation, but have
not received a reply.? Does anyone have any suggestions for a more permanent
fix?? Thank you in advance.? Dave, K8RXB?Sent from my Galaxy

Hi Don,
Yeah, I don?t often perform measurements on components already installed in a
circuit, so the behaviour was confusing. I thought I bought a nice DMM but I
guess it was just a fluke?
Anyway, I got it finished and everything is operational, now just have to wait
for the IC-705 interface cable!
Thanks and 73,

Erik,
Yes, using auto ranging on the DMM can cause false readings. Try to set the
fixed range a bit above the highest expected resistance for the best results.
It all depends on the voltage the DMM applies to the circuit. Too high a
voltage can make ICs and transistors conduct causing a low reading.
73,
