My K2 just started doing the same thing. I redid all the solder
joints between the board and the encoder, then checked the list
archives to see if anyone else had that problem.
I am going to order and install a new encoder. The reason I think
that it is the encoder itself is that with the knob off and the nut
on the encoder loose, I can wiggle it around to get it to work. You
would think that would be a bad solder joint, but as I said, I redid
all four wires and checked them with an ohmmeter. I think it's
something internal to the encoder.
It's not a hard part to replace. I will let you know how it goes.
In the meantime, I am using rig control to adjust frequency. :-(
