K3 - how to CONFIG without VFO B?

LB3SA
I just received my K3 kit and love the radio already! I have a problem however... After about 1 hour of usage the VFO A encoder stopped working for some strange reason. I swapped it for VFO B so it is definitely the encoder and nothing else. But now I'm not able to use the menu or CONFIG since VFO B is a must for this. Does anyone know if either N4PY or Ham Radio deluxe will give me control of the CONFIG menu?

A new encoder will be ordered on Monday of course but from Elecraft to Norway often takes more than a week (gasp!) :)

The latest version of Ham Radio Deluxe will give you control
of most all the CONFIG menu functions ..... there are a couple
missing, but I don't think it would be a 'show stopper'.

Thanks - it worked!

Now it will be MUCH easier to wait for a new encoder! :)
