Please figure it out with Lisa today. This should not be a permanent
thing, but needs to be done now.

Me thinks this got to the list by mistake.

Ouch! Fat fingers this morning on the keyboard! I did not mean to post
this to the list. This is for incoming inspection on some of the encoders we use on the K3 Front Panel IF shift control etc. It is not an issue for K3s that have made it through production and final test. We caught a few encoders that were not electrically working correctly in our board test group last week as they tested FPs, so we are now testing the raw encoders 100% before they even go into the boards. This is a normal production quality procedure any time we find a problem on parts incoming from a vendor. (We also immediately contact the vendor to make sure no more come in that way.) This additional raw encoder test is to make sure there are no more questionable ones in stock before they are soldered into the PC boards. We also always 100% test these in OUR finished front panel boards before they go into a kit or built K3. (But we certainly try to catch bad ones before this stage so we don;t have to remove and replace them - a time consuming operation.) Quality is our top manufacturing priority. We are continually adapting our process to adapt and improve it where ever possible. 73, Eric WA6HHQ Radio Amateur N5GE wrote: > On Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:01:59 -0700, "Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft" > <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Thanks for keeping us posted, Eric. > > Tom, N5GE > >> Please figure it out with Lisa today.

I find it refreshing that a vendor can make a mailing mistake and not
feel totally devastated. To me, this is just another manifestation of the openness of Elecraft and the feeling of 'family' that it brings is very welcome. 73 de M0XDF, K3 #174 -- He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever. -Chinese proverb On 14 Sep 2009, at 17:34, Eric Swartz - WA6HHQ, Elecraft wrote: > Ouch!
