RIT encoder has become flaky

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

As an example -- while slowly turning the RIT knob, the frequency display will go through:

.82
.83
.84
.85
.84*
.85*
.84*
.84*
.83*
.84*
.85*
.86
.87
....etc.

The erroneous readouts are starred.

This is repeatable, though not necessarily with the same numbers. This would seem to be an encoder problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

Just curious Bill:
Do you also use RIT as "coarse tuning" ?
May be a cause for faster wear-out of the encoder...
