Hi all,

Just received a used KX3 today and found that VFO B is skipping. Lets say the top number is rotation out of 9 and bottom number is actual sensed position, it kinda does this>

123456789
121233323

And so on and so forth.

Is there a way to clean these out or replace them?

As a point of interest, it seems to go away if you put a little force on the knob perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
