According to the schematics, those two double pots on the front panel are merely voltage dividers. They provide 0 to 5v signals to the front panel MCU which controls the function, eg: AF_GAIN. It’s possible the pot has developed a dropout right at the point where you usually set the AF level.

My 2400-serial number K3 has begun to have a sporadic receive problem, which has gotten much worse recently.  It's really weird. What happens is this - the receiver sporadically loses most of its audio output level, until I move the AF pot a couple of degrees either way, at which point it
