K3 Loss of VFO B control

Tony Scesny
Hi  Jerry:

   The encoders have a printed circuit board that has 10 leads attached
to the top of each and soldered into place.  The top of the leads, in
some cases,  are TOO LONG and may interfere with the DSP board above
it.  In most cases there is enough clearance, but to be on the safe side
I used a metal finger-nail FILE to carefully file down those leads to
the top of the pool of solder that holds them in place.  Inspect the
clearance after the DSP board is in place just to make sure. There is
not much space and it seems to me that putting any kind of insulating
material there will only put  pressure on the DSP board and cause it to
FLEX.     Only  MHOP  : )
