Re: [Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem

My K2 just started doing the same thing. I redid all the solder joints between the board and the encoder, then checked the list archives to see if anyone else had that problem. I am going to order and install a new encoder. The reason I think that it is the encoder itself is that with

[Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem

Just started the the alignment test Part 1 on my K2 (Rev. f) page 42. Everything went well, no smoke or error codes, until I got to the Optical Encoder Test step2. It says to turn VFO knob in both directions and verify that displayed freq. changes accordingly. The only change I see is the

RE: [Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem

I had the same problem, turned out to be a bad solder joint on one of the wires going from the board to the encoder. Jim - KA2RVO K2 #5919 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:58:02 + Just

Re: [Elecraft] K2 Optical Encoder Test Problem

Sounds like you are missing one channel of the encoder -- first step is to check the soldering. Looks like the two encoder channels ENC A and ENC B go to the RF board via pins and 13 of J1. Check the soldering on those pins on the RF board and the front panel board, also pins 9 and 16 the MCU
