K3 - Faulty VFO B encoder

Greg

It's a faulty encoder - I had two of them go bad with these same symptoms. Talk to the guys at [hidden email] and they will replace it.

I have a K3 SN 1553

When I first power up the K3 the VFO B works correctly.

After about 1 minute it starts to get eratic and then stops working completly.

I have re-loaded the latest (non Beta) Firmware.

I checked to to see that the VFO B encoder is properly seated to the connector.

Seems like a temperature related problem. FP temp is normal 27 C

Has anyone seen a similar problem or have any hints where to start troubleshooting?

Thanks,? Greg WA1JXR
