I too was concerned when the tuning knob of my K2 #5551 was stiff, even without a felt washer or two. The encoder shaft was very carefully scrutinised and no errant fibres were visible.
It was with reluctace I requested a replacement encoder, because I believe it's an expensive component, but Elecraft speedily provided one without hesitation. Wow! What a difference that made! At the time I offered to return the stiff encoder to Elecraft for examination, but they declined. I still have the stiff encoder and the offer of its return to Elecraft still stands. Great radio and outstanding backup. 73 DaveL G3TJP K2/100 #5551 K3/100 #1122 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
