KX3 VFO Encoder and a Post Script

[W4JBB]

Before I email Elecraft support, has anyone noticed any side-to-side
play in their KX3 VFO encoder?  I noticed it this morning while tuning
around listening to the WES.  Yes, I tried tightening the nut holding
the encoder - it was not loose.  It is the shaft itself.

If it's normal, I'm not worried about it.

73/72,

PS:  When adjusting anything in the shack, make sure your (+) power lead
does not come into contact with the chassis of the radio. That'll wake
you up like no coffee can.  :)  Luckily, nothing was damaged and the PS
only required a hard reset.

Yes, a small amount is normal on the KX3 encoder.
