Hi folks! Had another whoopsie with my K2 Serial #7818. Number 4 wire, that attaches the encoder subassembly to the front panel, had a soldering pad disintegrate. I found this when I was testing, and saw that the encoder was not changing the frequency up or down. I am assuming that the wire not being soldered would cause the encoder to fail the test.
I’ve had my kit together and apart multiple times now. I may have caused the malfunction by separating the boards too many times? Regardless, I’ve contacted Elecraft Parts and requested a new encoder subassembly PCB. Hope I can get just the board and not have to buy a whole subassembly! Other than that issue, I’m thrilled with my kit, and excited to continue populating the RF board. Do you think I should continue, or should I wait for the new PCB and complete the testing before continuing? I guess that is one of those “Are we there, yet?” questions!
