VFO-B stuck / pse advice

[Felipe Ceglia - PY1NB-2]

Hi,

A friend of mine has the VFO-B on his K3 stuck.  Frequency wont
change. Also, when he tries to access the menu, all he can see is
FW-rev.

Is this a common issue? He tried front panel resetting the rig, but
that did not fix the issue.

Hi Felipe,

This should never happen. It sounds like the VFO B shaft encoder may  
be inserted too far into the front panel. Try removing the VFO B knob  
and checking the panel hardware. If backing VFO B out a bit doesn't  
fix it, remove the front panel and inspect the VFO B connectors. If  
you don't see the problem right away, please email K3support.
