Re: [Elecraft] Sluggish Encoders
Elecraft mailing list wrote Since the speed and shift controls are not always problematic, I suspect a software conflict. 73, Dennis K3 #3481 Under typical operating conditions I sometimes notice a delayed response of the WIDTH encoder. With the antenna disconnected, the same encoder's response is immediate. Could it be that in addition to defective encoder components, CPU load is another cause?

Re: [Elecraft] Sluggish Encoders
That is what support just told me too. Sounds like a bad batch of encoders to me. I may change them out when I get my new synthesizers.
