K3 VFO A
Locked
 
|
My K3 VFO A knob doesn't seem to want to do anything. It won't change the
frequency, nor will it change the settings in the menu. My first guess is that the encoder is bad. VFO B works fine. Is there any way I can verify this before I pull the K3 apart?

Hi Joe:
Well... I'd say a call to Elecraft support is in order. Try tomorrow afternoon. BTW, this list is set for a reply to BE off-list. Sometimes people forget that. You have to manually type in the list address to have the response go to the list. 73 de Ray K2ULR KX3 #211 -----Original Message----- From: Joseph M.

Ray,
It looks like I'll be calling the parts department for a new encoder. I swapped A & B this morning and now A works and B doesn't. I didn't remember this when I built the thing but there is a surprise waiting for you when you try to remove the front panel. The screws on the left front of the RF board are in the way. I did a quick review of the assembly manual before attempting to remove it and some how I didn't notice this. It would be really cool if there was a software way to swap the controls A & B. I'm not sure in how many cases this would ever be useful, but this is certainly one case. It has been almost 10 years since the K3 had been apart, when I built it. It is kind of hard to believe that it has been that long! Thanks & 73 de Joseph M.
